May twenty second, and this is as warm as it got. We've been living in a dream world with summer-like temperatures, to the point where it seemed foolish to not plant some things in the garden. It's been steadily ten degrees warmer than normal, the ground was warmed up - why wait? But tomatoes are not hardy and night temperatures going down lately into the forties; my brother covered them up a couple of days ago with plastic.
And here we are this week, with three days in a row supposed to be in the fifties, except today, with rain all day, it never got even that high.
"Planting is an act of faith."

I hope conditions are much better for your tomatoes now!
