We thought about that and DH and I thought we'd take some old shade cloth
and make a cover for the first two feet and that way the bucket wouldn't be
in direct sun.  I grow lots of stuff in pots now because of the moles,
gophers and rocks, so we shall see if this works.  And, since I always end
up with more tomato plants than I know what to do with, it won't be a big
loose.
