is it finally safe to let my tomatoes outside in massachusetts?
Every spring, I get way too excited and want to plant everything the second the snow melts. Last year, I rushed and my poor tomatoes shivered through a surprise frost. This time, I’m checking the soil with my hand—if it’s still cold, I wait. I’ve also learned to peek at the lilacs. When they start to bloom, it’s usually warm enough for most veggies. My raised beds help, too, since they warm up faster than the ground. Now, I’m out there every morning, feeling the dirt and watching for those first blossoms. It’s so satisfying to see tiny green shoots pop up, knowing I timed it just right.
