fellas i used to plant them as early as tax day around here NC blue ridge foothills my dad and i usually have a contest to see who gets the first red one off - reason i tell ya this - now i start mine out in a small greenhouse and transfer but i have figured out that unless someone grows in a pot and brings in at night - thats cheating by the way lol - everybody usually gets there first ones off at the same time - unless it stays warm at night the tomatoes wont grow and usually a cut worm or the wind breaks them off right at the top of the ground - so if you feed them good and plant after it starts warming up at night then you cant go wrong even if your neighbor gets the first red one- cold set is usually the first to turn here and that celebrity is hard to beat but if you like a good average tomato canning or sandwich then the old tried and true marglobe is the one for taste -have had trouble finding them in the last few years but for seeds i found a lot of old varieties here
www.rhshumway.com and rocky buddy i dont know how i would ship them to ya but if you need some plants you cant find let me know - i will be more than glad to send ya whatever you needed - that would make me smile - i know it can be done because gurneys and others ship plants somehow - i usually plant a dozen or so varieties then a couple new ones just to see how they are - gardening i guess is my second hobbie right under punching paper
