A bonus on the tomatoes, I planted the seedlings low in the black pots and added soil as they grew so they developed a good root system. The black plastic and the black pots helped provide early heat and I could easily cover them on frosty nights without crushing the foliage. These were not standing in water until they grew more. I kept the young plants on the dry side to prevent root rot.
