grow well in planters like I have it in, but I grew some in the early spring in these same planters. That crop was left over from last fall's plants that didn't do well at all, but surfaced again in the spring. I only got enough for maybe 3 salads, but it was very tasty.

yes, make a tent like structure, I think plastic will be lighter and less likely to sag onto your delicate plants. Be sure to take it off when it warms up or you might cook the plants.

I just made a tent from plastic. Looks pretty workable. I'll post a pix later of my handiwork. :-)
