Stan's hot tomato

This morning, Sunday morning, the temp hit one degree above zero in my
back yard everywhere but inside the pyramid, there it hit a low of 40
degrees.
     Ok, tomorrow I'm off the to home center (Home Depot or Eagle
Hardware) to get my insulation board.  I don't know exactly how many
pyramids I will be making yet but it will probably be based on one 4 X 8
foot piece of insulation board.  
     Today, a tomato seed sprouted enough to break ground, in my kitchen,
inside a small peat pot.  Tomorrow, when the temp in the pyramid gets up
to about 60 degrees, I will put out the little plant and see if it lives
from then on.  (I should have worded that differently, I kind of sound
like my mean evil twin, taking torture on little baby plants)    This, of
course, is the real test to see if this pyramid contraption works.
     I will keep you posted.

Stan.     The cheap and lazy gardener.

P.S.     I guess I should explain this sig.  The cheap part is the fun
part.  I think anybody can have a great garden if they had unlimited
money to throw at it.  The challenge for me is to get good results as
cheap as possible.  I try to make things as reusable as possible and  I
try to use things that would normally be thrown out, (hence my obsession
with 2 liter pop bottles).  I feel that the fun in the hobby is in the
labor, not in the spending. 
             The lazy part comes from trying to make the garden as care
free as possible after putting it in.  I really don't know anyone who
"enjoys" pulling weeds, repairing animal damage, watering, fertilizing, 
debugging etc.  Putting in the garden is the fun part for me.

P.P.S.   The FBI called me today to ask if I knew anybody who lives in
maybe, Benton Harbor? Maybe St. Joseph?  Maybe Kalamazoo Michigan? Maybe
Westland, New Zealand?
