Answer 1

If the tomatoes are still smallish, you can cut the bottom off of a gallon milk jug and place the jug over the plant. It acts like a mini green house. If the plant is large, you can use a clear trash bag over the tomato cage.

Try your county extension office for gardening tips for your specific area. In WYO, most farmers there grow wheat and sugar beets, but they also give advise for home gardeners as well.

Zuchini and other squash plants are good for that climate. Remember that you get snow up to the middle of June, so plant accordingly. Plants in the cabbage family enjoy cold weather, as do lettuices, snow peas, etc. There are plants that are cold-hearty, but tomatoes are tropical plants, and don't do well in frost.

Answer 2

the rock idea sounds good. it will heat up in the sun and keep the plat warm overnight.
when you find slugs on your tomoato buy some beer. put a can in a used pie tin from a store bought pie. the slugs will got to that instead of the tomato. my dog usually gets into the beer too but its for the slugs.

Answer 3

I place huge grey rocks around mine, so the heat is absorbed in them and helps them get really big, plus water it w/fish protein mixed in, they love it
