Uh huh. Our average last frost date is May 15. But there's always such a rush to buy the most popular tomato type (Celebrity) that there are hardly any left on shelves by May 1.
I found exactly one left in a large garden store on May 6. I decided to plant five different varieties this year to see if any of them is as good as Celebrity. Naturally, it was the lone Celebrity plant that died first! Broken right over - must've been hit by a lump of snow falling from a power line.
I can replace the others, but I doubt I'll find another Celebrity plant this year. So no "control" plant in my experiment, I guess.
