It’s a matter of perspective…

Every year we fret and worry about putting tomatoes out too early.  We still could have a freeze–it has happened.  A 4″ tomato costs two and a half bucks, a fancy cup of coffee costs more than that!  So what have you got to gain by planting tomatoes early?  A longer season of tomatoes!  Tomatoes rarely drop below $1.99 a pound these days.  My point is that it makes economic sense not to wait, go ahead, live dangerously, take the gamble of planting your tomatoes now.  Tomatoes can survive a light freeze.  In the event of a hard freeze, all you have to lose is the price of a cup of coffee!
