We have a greenhouse in my yard; tomatoe shoots are already up. Expect to plant more seeds this weekend and ultimately take down the greenhouse mid-May when the fear of frost is over (N. Illinois).

ROFL!!!! Sorry for giggling - but that just strikes me funny considering your screen name!

I spent all my summers as a teenager in Sarasota, Florida.

We cleared a space last year for some tomato plants this spring but we're in the same boat as you...Michigan, the frost is still out there. The last time we planted tomatoes they did just fine. Too well, in fact. Everyone in the neighborhood would help themselves as they walked past the house.

I didn't bother telling them that our tomato patch was a favored spot for every neighborhood dog to lift a leg 8^}

I have to "cane out" my raspberries sometime today. I let it go the last two years so it is going to be a biiiig chore.
