Tomato Plants From Seed 2012

[so lucky]

I couldn't stand to wait anymore so I planted tomato seeds yesterday. Roma and Rutgers. I know Rutgers is an old one, but I wanted a "normal" tomato that is not a hybrid. My cabbage and broccoli are up and doing well, planted Jan 28th. I also planted a bunch of Queen Sophia marigold, to border the garden with. It is recommended for companion planting. I am getting really antsy. If I had the fence up, I'd probably have some stuff in the ground by now, but it would be a waste of time with the chickens prowling around in the garden when they free-range. :/

Could you really plant out doors now in zone 6?

Yes, I would like to get my cabbage and broccoli out, then cover them with a hot cap of some type. Actual hot caps are still available, a remnant from the past. (A waxed paper dome with a lip to put dirt clods on, to hold it in place)
