Here's my tried and true tip for the best time to plant tomatoes. I always wait until the temperature outside matches my I.Q. As seen on the remote thermometer in my office , it is only 38 degrees outside. That means I have to wait another 36 degrees before I plant. When the thermometer says 74, it will match my intelligence quotient and it's go time. In case you are wondering, I.Q.'s are determined by dividing a persons mental age by his chronological age and multiplying by 100.
Here's another tomato formula you can use. Always plant more than you need or want. That's because at least half will die or freeze. It is called survival of the fittest. It is true that a few sub-select tomatoes will slip and sneak through the survival seine. The same isn't true, however, for low I.Q. growers of such who have tried to inflate their intelligence quotient numbers to impress others. It won't work because somewhere, sometime, you are going to have to be able to spell what you planted. Temeato, Tumuto or Toomateo. That's my story and my I.Q. and I'm sticking to it.
