Might just go ahead and put my tomato transplants in the ground tomorrow

Our azaleas are blooming

No baw. It'll freeze.

There’s back to back arctic blasts coming through next week. I’d hold off

The will take and grow well right now. However, if you get a frost or freeze they will be toast. What I usually do is put a few plants in the ground real early with the hope that I don't get a frost or freeze. I keep the rest of my seedlings in my greenhouse until time to put the main crop plants in. THat way, I may get a few real early tomatoes but have enough in reserve that I don't lose all of my plants. With all this said, I have to admit that I usually plant around 150 tomato plants in the spring then 10 or 12 heat tolerant varieties and plant 40-50 plants in the fall.
so I don't want to lose my main crop of spring plants and since it is so many plants I cannot cover all of them to protect them from frost.

May as well. Dadgum daffodils are blooming already.

I weeded and feeded last weekend.

Dolla weed is trying to muscle it’s way into the clover.

I wouldn't roll the dice unless you have enough to plant a small number now and the full crop after the first week in March. While there isn't a freeze in the cards for the next two weeks or so, early March might deliver one. History suggests we'll get another before the end of winter.

I wouldn't be surprised if we don't freeze again till the fall. Still wouldn't plant them all now on the just in case.

I plant a couple every year at St. Valentine’s Day. If an arctic blast comes through, I cover them with a 5 gal bucket and put a heat lamp on the bucket. I pick tomatoes in April/May every year

This. If you lose them you’re out a few bucks, but if they make it the upside is way worth it.
