Hi, Lori- sorry I missed your post, too, but congratulations on your new granddaughter!I'd choose my grandchildren over my tomato plants any day.

It's really easy to overwater- I agree with what Scott said and don't worry about the green stuff. Once they're in the ground and have some time to adjust and some good weather, they'll recover. If you can rig up some wind protection with row cover, shade cloth, plastic, etc. to protect from extreme wind until they get going, it might help.

I once had late frost nearly kill plants- within a couple days some had no leaves left but just a hint of green in the stalk. I left a few and within a week they were growing new leaves and recovered to produce fruit. Tomato plants are pretty tough.
