Thanks for all of the advice. I planted the 3 tomato plants in the
garden yesterday. They were starting to look a little flimsy so I
figured it was time to move them from the plastic pots to the garden.

What is a shade cloth? I assume I can pick one up at the nursery.
Does it let partial light through?

Has anyone had any success with Green Peppers in AZ?

Thanks
Christine

growing indoors be a better solution? If so, my house faces East/West?
Any advice would be helpful!

I'm in Albuquerque & just put in 4 plants last weekend. It got real cold
the other night and 2 of them I think are kaput, even though I surrounded
them with some plastic for protection. The other 2 seem to have fared
quite well. Its probably a bit early for them yet w/o some manner of
better protection than I used. Home-made wrap stapled together from a
swimming pool solar cover.
