Low Effort Outdoor Grow

Whelp, I lost quite a few of these already to some caterpillar leaf cutter. I was really surprised when I opened the container and saw the tops missing from so many. It was perplexing because I couldn't see how a rabbit or something would get in there and the tomato plants were completely untouched but as I investigated, I found the 2 sleeping caterpillars in 2 of the cowpots. I started germinating 6 more, pennywise x ubermale and black banana punch. I am going to be keeping them inside for a bit longer and transplant them as they grow and when they grow out of their 1 gallon pot, they'll go outside. I'm still growing these of course, but haven't checked on them since it got down to the low 40s. Hopefully burying them a bit and using the plastic cover helped! I know they're all weird and ugly, but I don't really mind right now. They'll be stunted for a bit but since they'll be growing outside for the next 5 months, I'm not too concerned...as long as they live lol.
