Last year I started seeds in mid February our average last frost is April 15, I planted a hundred foot row that included Cole, 0-33, Fireworks, Big Beef and Juane Flamme under black plastic mulch around April 20th, unfortunately I wasn't paying attention and that first row got a bad case of EB, after I treated them with bleach spray, they were severely stunted. I got tomatoes from all plants but can't give an opinion of them because of the EB. I'm trying them again this year and spray a preventive early also.
