FWIW, last year I planted tomato seedlings in mid April, but, because of my rank ignorance at that time, I put way too much nitrogen in the potting mix and all I got were giant lush plants and no fruit at all. So, I rushed out to Walmart and bought 4 self-watering 6.5 gallon containers and replanted on July 1, 2015. That was way too late to plant in Orange County Southern California.
But, my results were very interesting and informative. The plants grew very slowly...but surely. They lasted through the winter and were fruiting (but not ripening) quite well by mid March 2016, remarkably.
