I take the plastic soda bottles when empty and cut the bottom part of the bottle off, then I put it over my most tender, recently transplanted seedlings. By taking the top cap off, you have plenty of ventilation for your plant, but it protects them from many animals trying to eat them or dig them up.

This year I decided to get over my fears of starting plants from seeds. In the past I had no luck transferring the seedlings outside so I decided to think like an adolescent plant.
One thing I discovered is that if you transplant the seedlings on an overcast day in the late afternoon, gently soak the soil around them after planting, gently tamp around their base after soaking, they adjust much better to their new surroundings. They would rather not have you fussing around them in front of other plants but they need to know that you are there.
