I am going to harden off few tomatoes and plant them out before the end of February..
Then I will do a mass planting early March. That is one month ahead of traditional plant out (early April)
So far 15 days forecast , up to March 7th, shows a consistent warm trend ( 72F/50F). This trend has been going on for a couple of weeks now.
Unless we get a deep freeze (unlikely), I can always protect my plants against frost.
YMMV
