Bit the bullet and planted

My new project of building high tunnels and growing tomatoes has officially began! I planted them out yesterday afternoon.

I planted out 31 plants in the high tunnel. Then it rained all day! Temperature was lower than the forecast. I have the back-up heater ready, I have my emergency blankets and I said a pray. I hope the nice tomato gods are on my side! The plants looked nice and healthy this morning. The temp in the building was 48-50 degrees.

This is by far the eariliest I have every planted. One year ago, I didn't plant outside until April 29th. April 28th it froze. I just barely missed it. The year before I planted out on April 14th and had no problems. Those years I didn't have a hoop building. I probably could have tried last week, but I didn't have time too.

Who else has planted out already?
