Should I plant my tomato plants today?Or wait till Monday?
well if you think it's going to frost then you probably should wait till monday, otherwise you'll probably end up having to do it all again, no?
Reply:Well if it's going to be cold and frosty out this weekend. Then logic says to wait till the weather is nice again like as you suggested maybe Monday and do it then. You do not want to plant them and then have them die on you then you would have to go spend more money on new ones. That would suck. So, I would say yeah wait till Monday. IF you are still unsure then call your local Plant Nursery they are the best people to ask for advice on this as they deal with this kinda stuff on a daily basis.
Reply:THE RULE passed down from my mother, grandmother, etc. etc. in NJ (and we always grow the best tomatoes) is to plant after Mother's Day, Of course they didn't anticipate global warming... this may seem silly but just shut off your surroundings, and meditate -- the earth and the tomato are living -- if you know how to listen they will tell you. Really I am serious..
Reply:If you think it may frost one last time this weekend, what could possibly be your reason for not waiting until Monday? Think about the risk involved in choosing one day versus the other.
Reply:i'm in PA too, i would wait til monday! rain is on the way!!
Reply:do it on Sunday
Reply:no time like the present.
Reply:wait till monday unless they are going in a greenhouse, if so then go for it
Reply:If you're planting from seed, no problem.


If from plants, then wait till all frosts have gone.


Remember, tomatoes need heat and sun to produce fruit.
Reply:What more can I add except to say if you were a tomato plant would you want to be thrust into the cold, cruel, freezing ground or would you rather acclimate yourself to the terra firma on a day that's at least above 32 degrees?





Sometimes ya hafta think like a tomato... :-)
Reply:who cares. why can't you make up your mind about something like that. obviously you don't want to plant them before a frost.
Reply:That depends on wher you live. if you live in continental climate, you should wait until the weather gets warmer and more steady.
Reply:wait! its not worth planting them now, just to have them wither in the frost and have to plant a whole new crop!
Reply:If there is any chance of frost, i would wait till monday. you don't want frostbite tomato plants. Happy planting!!!
