For plastic, those cloches are fairly attractive — especially if they really work.

So far the cloches are working out great. It's been unseasonably warm, and I thought that the plants might roast with the 70 degree temps, but the soil is still cool, and I think that helps. The vents in the top are working well.

Interesting domes that help plants grow. Haven't tried them. Maybe I should.

Hey Diggity – it's windy here too – 50 MPH over the weekend. these came with metal spike with hooked edges, that pierce the rim, and act like stakes into the soil. Not dog proof, but pretty stable in the wind, especially since the rim is also covered with soil.

I've seen the plastic domes and they seem interesting, but I live in windy Kansas and I really suspect they will just be blown away. I'd love to find some old glass ones though.
