Baby tomatoes planted out

So I decided to put my little guys in the garden last week. To protect them from the pesky squirrels I decided to cover them with a milk jug with the bottom cut open. I also added big vent windows to keep them from cooking. It is suppose to hit 89 today in St. Louis - yikes! Crazy considering only a couple days ago our high was 62.
