Re: A question on planting peppers

<<I would also cover them with mini-greenhouses made out of
two-liter coke bottles or out of plastic over wire fencing.
I live in Tacom (warmer & earlier than you) but
I always do this until mid-june and I have great fruit set.>>

Excuse me for jumping in here without a proper introduction,
but I'm curious about using 2-liter bottles to cover peppers.
Do you just cut off the top of the bottle and set it over the
pepper plant (pushing it into the soil a tad, I presume)?

This probably sounds pretty dumb, but do you cut any
holes for air circulation?  This sounds like a good way
to protect my plants (also being tortured by the wind)
from the fluctuating temperatures of southern Michigan.

Thanks, in advance.
