Being so warm and the long-term forecast favorable, I planted. Got my bigger plants in the ground on the 15th. They are looking good so far and have grown. Planted peppers several days ago. Dug and planted the other bed for the little tomatoes yesterday.

Highs here have been 80ish, lows mid 40's. Soil temperature, the single place I measured about 4" down was 69. I've left the beds bare, as in no mulch yet, to help warm them up. Last year I piled leaves on too early, which was a mistake.

Now the weather will turn cold.
