Dogs will be dogs 
.
I got all of my tomatoes transplanted this weekend. I was going to wait until after the cold snap next week to transplant peppers and sow cucumbers/melons/squash, but I think I'm going to go ahead and do that tomorrow afternoon just to be done with it. I'll cover if I need to.

Aint this some bullshite. I know its the 192 hour forecast, but my weather app is showing 36 also. Still long range and can change (hopefully for the better).

I'm seeing 42 for next Tuesday. I'm going to wait this out and see if it trends higher, lower, or stays the same. My seedlings can wait a little longer. But yeah, they are ready to go in the ground!

Euro isn't nearly as cold. Stalled front this weekend, high uncertainty, etc... But yeah I'll probably wait until late week to decide whether or not to plant. But by then we'll by dodging rain, so

I'm hoping we get out of this wet pattern soon. I'd like to plant corn.

Mother fricker I just got all my tomato plants in the ground on saturday. What is the lowest temp tolerable for them?

33. Even though they can survive temperatures just above freezing, the problem once the temps drop below 40 is you have to worry about frost damage. If the damage is significant enough the young plants might not survive.

My neighbor is 90 and he’s been riding me for over a month to plant my tomato seedlings. He even bought me 3 tomato plants to “encourage “ me to do so. Says he always planted on Feb 1 in Da Parish and should plant Feb 14 on the Northshore. His yields were things of legend. I just can’t do it yet…. Don’t want to chance it either.

I kind of want to plant any ways and if I lose them, then so be it. I'll just buy some more plants from the store.
Of course, now that I say that, it is supposed to rain all weekend which is my only real chance of planting unless I do it by headlight. My wife would not be thrilled if that's how I chose to spend my little bit of time off. She already puts up with my backyard shenanigans enough.

Does he have a really good way of protecting them from the cold? I’ve seen too many hard freezes in February to ever think about doing that!

Old timer friend put his in 3-4 weeks ago. Says it's a gamble but when dice turns out right he's a genius! Usually incredible yields

Maybe next year I’ll try starting some extra seeds earlier and throw them out there in February. And then start another set of seedlings at my regular time as backup. At worst I lose a few bucks in the extra seed starting soil.

He tried to convince me to build a cold frame. Never heard of it until he brought it up.

and less than 24 hrs later, its up to a low of 46.
I looked at my seedlings yesterday evening and have roots coming out the bottoms of the plastic pots. I already up-potted them. I am thinking hard about going ahead and planting on Friday after the 30 mph winds blow through on Thursday.

I'm planting today.
I have transplanted tomatoes in early February in grow bags before. I just brought them in if I thought there was a risk of frost. This was before I really knew much about growing stuff but it was nice to have early tomatoes. I don't think I would take the risk with seed starts of my own. I grow too many weird varieties and if they died I wouldn't be able to replace them.

Definitely couldn’t hurt to be prepared.
I’ve considered building one for hardening off my seedlings. But it wouldn’t necessarily suit my method since I gradually move them more and more into the sun each day. If I used that method I talked about before with shade cloth, it could work. I can’t see myself building cold frames over entire garden rows, though. That would get expensive.
I’m going to wait until at least Thursday and monitor that cool front. If it stays above 40 I’m planting. It’s only supposed to be a light rain Thursday morning for my area. So the garden shouldn’t be too saturated.

I’m in the same boat. Pushing 38 deg on Tuesday next week.

All my store bought stuff in either in the ground or in pots as of today. I still have some plants in the amazon things that can wait a bit I suppose. I basically killed almost all of that with some spray I bought that I thought was made for that sort of thing.
