That said, I’m still a bit gun shy about frosts and tomatoes. They like it warm. So for now they are quite happy inn their pots waiting to go in the ground.

They are growing very well and a nice size. I got a good head start on getting them started.

I also need to finish prepping the bed, which I plan to do the rest of this week.

Yes, in my experience, toms grow better with warmth and moderate sun than cool with lots of sun. And with no sunny days forecast for the next 2 weeks then I am waiting till next Mon to begin planting, as from Tues thru the 23rd day temps are forecast to be in the 60s and 50's at night, though the pros say that the soil temp should be 60. Which would mean June where you are! Kinda like Scotland for now. Thank God we have better conditions to grow than Siberia!
