In early March, as soon as I could find tomato seedlings I started my cloche experiment. Purchasing 2 identical cultivars of the same size, I planted them side by side and covered the plant on the left in the photo above with a 5 gallon water bottle that had its bottom cut off. This provided extra warmth and wind protection. Now in late April the results are in. The plant on the left is 1/3 taller than than its counterpart on the right and has formed blossoms, whereas the plant on the right has just a few blossoms starting.
