I'm reading the C-H digest and see some people are having  trouble 
hardening off plants.  I didn't have the time or the help to harden them 
off this year, so I just planted them in the garden, used the three ring 
tomato cages over them then use snap clothespins to hold two full double 
pages of newspaper over the top.  Newspaper droops down, and protects 
plants from noon overhead heat, but allows sun to reach the plants in early 
morning and late afternoon.  I'll leave that on for a week or so, then 
probably take the newspapers completely off.  This is the easiest way I 
know, and I've done it for years.  Margaret L
