Which means that in the Siskyou Mountains you can use a WOW to plant
tomatoes now (4 weeks before "August") and extend your "growing season".
You even could have started with them 4-8 weeks ago (back in April or May)
and they would have protected your tomatoes during your late spring frosts
so that you could harvest in August instead of plant in August.
