Also, try to get your tomato plants into the ground one week after your last frost-free date. In south Texas, along the coast, we wait until April. You can start them in pots and bring them inside if a light freeze is on the way. When setting out in the garden, plant them very deep - they will make roots along the main stem. Protect them from "cutworms" by slitting a toilet paper roll and placing it in the soil around the bottom of the stem - use a clothespin to keep the roll closed. I also sprinkle a bit of "snail bait" around each plant for insurance.
