Yeah..and that is why Doug, who USED to live in Toronto, then Ottawa,
then Winnipeg, then Brandon. then Calgary, then Kelowna, now lives in
Nanaimo and who still does not put anything out(except herbs)until 24th
May. I remember however, that Marie & I planted 40 tomato plants in
Kelowna one year, in April. We lucked out,no frost, and did we ever have
early maters! Tomato plants are on sale now here but I am now older and
hopefully, have more sense:-)...don't go there Jim! Cheers, Doug in BC
