When to plant tomatoes and peppers #869883

Asked May 24, 2024, 8:31 AM EDT

According to the forecast, there will be a few nights in the 50s in the next seven days. Should I wait to plant my transplant tomatoes and bell peppers until June 1 or is it ok to plant now?

Expert Response

It is fine to plant all warm weather crops now. Even if the air temp drops overnight, the ground and air near the ground will be warm.

Good luck.
