Where I live in Utah not only does it feel like it takes FOREVER for it to finally warm up, but even then the weather is still a little bi-polar. Late frosts have snuck up on many gardeners looking to get a head start on the year. The local nursery says they sometimes see the same people two or three times early in the season replacing plants that didn’t sruvive the cold.
My dad has been incredibly successful in his gardening efforts, and keeping the plants thriving through the iffy spring frosts. Here is a picture of him next to his 23 foot TOMATO PLANT!! No lie.
The plant in front of it is also an incredibly tall tomato as well. These are both varieties of cherry tomatoes.
Getting plants a great start in the spring is key to being able to have an earlier harvest and a more bountiful one. Since we are just putting in our garden this year I have called my dad almost every night to pick his brain about what to do.
