Good for you the tomatoes! Overnight germination is always a great “surprise” to discover. :-)

Re the possible frost, I’d definitely err on the side of caution and wait a couple days after that date to put ‘em outside. (Or, if they’re already outside, maybe just turn a bucket or large pot upside-down & put it over the seedlings?

When they produce, post a photo if possible!

Thanks, yeah, I probably should get onto a photo hosting site again.

Last frost ((almost guaranteed) for us is supposed to be April 12. Normally it’s around March 27-28. But by April 12 we could have a high of 87+ deg. F, too.

Today we are forecast for 84 deg.! Which is what’s going to power the storms on the way — which are apparently going to be followed by an extended cool period. Assuming we don’t blow or float away...
