Gardener people...what do you suggest?

Usually tomatoe plants have about 65-75 days before maturity, which would bring you into January. Good suggestion is to pot plant tomatoes, so you can bring inside against frost. Get large pot, and a pot holder on rollers, so your able to roll in plant at night. Last year, I took chance at end of Feb, and planted two tomatoe plants, and I was successful. It's a gamble of about 5-10 bucks!!!! Good Luck Gracie, what ever you choose to do. Also can plant outside, and wrap clear plastic around whole plant, to stop wind from getting to it, and cover at night on cold nights.
