Yesterday, I was at my local garden store buying my early cool crops of kohlrabies and cabbage. I made the comment that with the weather we are having that I fell like I should be buying tomatoes and peppers but I knew we had too much time before our last frost date to do this. She laughed and told me that they were going to get tomato and pepper plants in because people have been demanding that they get some. She said they were going to sell them to people with no guarantee and a warning that they may die if the weather turned cold again.
This brings up an important point that the last frost date is important for successful gardeners to know. Here in this area it is May 10. Many of your crops which are frost sensitive should not be put out until after your last frost date even if the weather has turned nice early. One frost can kill a lot of hard work and money.
Be patient, tomato and pepper season will be here soon enough.
