this is so worth trying

Save $200 in 2 minutes and have the worlds best writing pen:

transform a $3 pen into a $200 pen in just seconds. Mont Blanc pens are the worlds finest writing pens but they make specialized refills so you must buy their $200+ pens to use their amazing ink…until now. This is the easiest hack/adaptation to give anyone the king’s writing ink.

In that spirit, I set out my tomato plants today — it was almost 70 degrees, after all — but not without protecting them with their own personal greenhouses, made from clear 2 liter soda bottles with the bottoms cut off. I’m sure I could *buy* something to protect them from the elements — I have some WalloWaters from prior seasons — but these are tough to beat for compactness and cost.
