Starting tomatoes in February
When I lived in Roseville, a suburb of Detroit, I started my tomatoes in small cells in a mini greenhouse in a south facing window. When they grew to aout 2 sets of true leaves, I transplanted them to drinking cups from fast food restaurants. I let them grow to as big as they wanted and set them out Memorial Day buried completely til only 2 sets of leaves showed above ground. Then I put a Tomato Boomer on each side of each plant. I had the biggest (not tallest) earliest, strongest and most productive tomato bushes in the neighborhood. I was the envy of all tomato growers in the vicinity. (Too bad I can't do it down here in Florida with all the nematodes). Sooo, I suggest you go ahead and try it.
