Thank you Sheila, for telling me about the heat tapes.
     I will check into those tapes, however, I am really bugged now about
how to heat the ground under the tomato plants.  I figure that if I can
warm the soil enough, I can plant tomato seeds directly into the garden
about 6 to 8 weeks early rather than indoors and then transplant.  This
never works well for me.  I never get to properly harden them off, or
they get too leggy or I forget to water them or I go on vacation, its
always something. With some kind of mini-greenhouse to protect the leaves
from frost, I think it will work.
     Maybe if I enclose the heat tape in cheap plastic plumbing
pipe......  Hmmm, any suggestions?  Anybody?

Stan.        The cheap and lazy gardener
