May 15th. That's the magic date that northern Ohioans know darn well is the frost free date. After May 15th, get the tomatoes and all other non-hardy plants in the ground. Yet, we tend to push that date as much as possible. And it's not just gardeners, it's the farmers too, who believe that this proven adage won't apply THIS year.
That's why I planted my tomatoes last week. This morning there was frost on the ground. The tomato plants look awful. And that's why I'll be buying new ones this week.
