more protection

Cold nights, so I covered tomato seedlings with extra plastic cloche.
Didn't like the benches as barriers, so I made a wire box, and put the rest of the seedling trays inside an empty aquarium for one night.
The tools and remnants
and the wire box:
I liked that so much better that the next day I took some broken poles from my outdoor compost bin, and some straights sticks picked up off the yard, whittled off the bark-
and stretched window screen material over a frame to make this:
and then used a saw, nails and wood glue to make a similar open-bottom box out of wood scrap:
So now all my seedlings are protected thus:
The cats have not bothered them yet 
and during the day when the plants go out into my little greenhouse I stack the cages off to the side, so kitties can enjoy the bench in the sun.
