Mostly what you have to do is watch out so that when you transplant your tomato seedlings that your head is not directly above the plant, otherwise you may get a tomato plant bonking you on the noggin on its way up.

Where we live now there is enough delay I can stand back.
Really? Mehbe this is a weird year here in Iowa? Not sure of Dell's results but mine are kinda slow-growing. Although, I didn't get them out until early June. Most folks so you shouldn't plant before Labor Day but I'm thinking they may be wrong.

Are things really much diff in Nebraska?
