Is There A Big Secret For When Should I Plant Tomatoes?
For most tomato fans and backyard gardeners, the question, “When should I plant tomatoes?” is generally answered easily at your local gardening centers and nurseries. These are the professionals who best understand the local climate and growing patterns. . They also will have plenty of tomato gardening supplies for you and be able to give you plenty of tomato gardening tips and advice. They have everything well organized and labeled. There may even be free pamphlets with additional information.. Online support. is available with many gardening places.
Here is the question, ” When should I plant tomatoes or does it really matter?”
There are key weekends, when gardening centers and nurseries usually have great sales. Based on experience and their own tomato gardening tips, they have figured the best planting weekends. In the United States Mother’s Day and Memorial Day are big gardening sales opportunities as they fall on the dates when you can expect no more frost. Using sale weekends as a guide will be a great benchmark to plan your tomato planting schedule. Your only worry will be spending too much at the sales since you will get your annuals at the same time!
When you buy your plants it is important to take the time to double check that what you are buying is what you thought you were getting. Plant packs easily get put back in the wrong places, so if you want the larger, beefy kind of tomato, you do not want to end up with cherry tomatoes. Signs are helpful, but there really is no way to tell the difference in Tomato Plants except by the little tabs they put in the plants.
Here is another interesting tidbit. The tomato gardening supplies centers and nurseries will have tomato plants at various stages of development. This can be a time-saver for the procrastinator, or people who missed the best planting weekends due to weather or other conflicts. You will be able to buy very large tomato plants that have been growing for awhile a container, and plant them. Guess what? It will look like they were planted six weeks earlier! Of course you pay a price for these larger plants.
That brings us to another popular fad which is patio containers and planters. Tomatoes will need large containers and the tomato gardening supplies centers should have plants advertised as dwarf plants. These are designed to be used in growing Container Tomatoes on you patio or deck. Many people put a Cherry Tomato plant here, but regular tomatoes will also work.
When should I plant tomatoes or does it really matter? It does matter, but your local tomato gardening supplies and home improvement centers are a good place to find ways to work around the best systems Not to mention an excellent source of tomato gardening tips and advice.

A question for mathematicians!?
One kilogram of tomatoes at Big Saver Market costs $4.50, whereas a pound of tomatoes at Hi-Value Market costs $1.50. At which market will you pay less for tomatoes? Show by calculation how much less you would be paying per unit for tomatoes.
I am going to convert both measurements to grams, to avoid decimals and because they are both fairly easily converted. There are 450 grams in a pound, and there are 1000 grams in a kilo. So we are now comparing
1000 grams at big saver for 4.50, and 450 grams at hi-value for 1.50.
1000/450= 2.2, and 2.2x 1.5= 3.30. In other words, to get the same amount of tomatoes, it costs $3.30 at hi-value, and $4.50 at big saver. It is cheaper to get hte tomatoes at hi-value.
4.50
-3.30
______
1.20
Therefore you will pay $1.20 less at hi-value than at big saver.
