GARDENING TIP To help support young plants that have just been transplanted in the garden, put juice cans, pop bottles or bleach bottles (with ends removed) over the plants. This also helps to keep plants warmer, moist and keeps animals from tramping on tender young plants. Remove cans when plants are strong enough to support themselves.
