I was told by a local farmer not to put out my tomatoe plants until the mesquite begin to bud out. So I’ll try that. I have a small fan and when the tomatoe plants are up a bit, I’m going to turn the fan on them, so their stems will be strong, but I can’t decide to put the fan above the plants or to one side.
I would put the fan to the side and rotate your flat of tomatoes every so often.
