Planted Feb 21 this year. I looked at a two week forecast, but was also influenced by posts here to plant early. It really seems to make a difference and since we have such a short spring window till it is too hot and the stinkbugs come...
Also, my fall crop only died in January. I protected through a few freezes and it wasn't too terrilbe.
It worked out very well this year with tomatoes on most all my plants as of last week. Tremendous difference in the plants my neighbor planted three weeks later.
