Here is an easy and cheap way to protect young tomato plants and other seedlings from rabbits and other garden pests. It also provides protection from wind and concentrates the heat from the sun in early spring.
Simply cut the top and bottom from a plastic milk container. As you see, a stick is placed through what used to be the handle and a second stick is placed opposite to the first. They adequately hold the milk carton in place.
When the plant outgrows the container it is no longer appetizing to the rabbits and they will leave it alone.

Wow. You've gotta drink a lot of milk if you're going to have more than one tomato plant!
My dad will plant marigolds around the perimeter of his garden to prevent rabbits and deer from entering the free buffet of nature provided by my family.
Thanks,
I'll try that with my pepper plants, too. Wind is always my problem.
BTW, with 3 kids in the house, we drink plenty of milk.
