Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Is it possible to protect one week old seedlings(direct sown in the
garden) while I am on vacation, or would it be best to delay the
planting for two weeks?  Also, what is the best way to protect
transplants - should I plant them or keep them indoors?  The trip is one
week after the last frost, so the peppers/eggplants won't be ready to
plant yet.

I will have someone taking care of the cats, but I'm not sure she will
be interested in watering 59 squares of seedlings every day.  I had
thought of watering well and then covering the beds with plastic.  Any
thoughts?

Thanks.
