How are your early tomatoes?
Did they survive those cold nights?

Mine are fine but they're pointless since I'm in Missouri now

Yes they are great, I covered them with 5 gallon buckets on all of the cold nights except for a couple of nights ago, I had a frost on my car when I left for work but I can’t see that it affected them. I actually planted a few more last weekend.

We've had our Maters in the ground down here for a bit...I guess there are a couple of advantages to livin down yonder!
Good luck...we love our homegrown too!!

What do you use to cover them doom?
I put 8 in the ground today and will plant some more in another month or so and see what happens...

Once it starts warming up add a layer of straw over the LS fabric. It will help retain moisture and keep the ground temp cooler to produce longer before the summer slowdown.
Also add epson salt for blossom end rot.

This is a vague and misleading statement. Georgia USDA plant zones range from 6a to 9a and the latest date of a freeze varies widely across those zones.

Got maters peppers squash cucumbers cantaloupes all in hot house going, not going to put them out in ground till next week. We had a hard frost Tuesday or Wednesday then next day hit 82 then dropped back down. Got corn about 1.5" high. Warms up a little bit planting okra. I don't plant my peas till July 4th no worms.
