Every April, backyard gardeners lose beautiful tomato seedlings to a mistake that has nothing to do with weather: they plant into soil that's too cold. Tomatoes need soil — not air — at 60 degrees Fahrenheit before they can establish roots. In most US growing zones, April soil runs 10-15 degrees cooler than the air temperature, and most beginners never check it. In this episode of Farm Fresh Homestead, we walk through the soil temperature rule, a proper two-week hardening-off protocol, and why patience in spring pays off in August yields.
