I noticed you did a heirloom tomato trial for Oklahoma Heirloom Tomato Trial 2009

And you talked about a transplant target date for May 1st

Was that starting seedlings around February 15? +/- or March 15? +/-

Because I am seriously considering starting my seedlings around feb 15 and getting them in the ground sometime in April, due to the recent summer heat waves these last few years kicking my butt.

I haven't decided a target date yet though. Was thinking at least 2 weeks early at ~ April 15 if not a full month early at ~April 1st

Finally, when exactly do you recommend Sweet Potato plantings?
