Used to be that I could set tomatoes out mid to late February but now it seems to be mid March or later. That shortens my front end growing season and reduces harvest as come June and July its to hot for the plants to produce tomatoes.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel I wish that was the case here. It should be much warmer but things have changed. I guess when you plant things you start to notice these changes.

..."When to Transplant
When to transplant depends on the plant. Some plants, such as spinach, are cool-season crops, which means that they should be planted before outdoor temperatures get too warm. Others, like tomatoes and peppers, are warm-season crops and will be weakened by too-cool temperatures. The temperature of the soil is important, too!
→ Check our Planting Calendar, which lists when to transplant each type of vegetable based on your local frost dates.
Don’t rush it! Earlier isn’t necessarily better and cold temperatures will slow growth rates. Heat-loving plants shouldn’t be outside until nighttime temperatures remain consistently above 60°F (15°C). Keep an eye on local weather forecasts as you prepare for transplanting. If a serious cold snap is imminent, hold off on transplanting until temperatures are more agreeable.
If you start your plants from seed, it’s a good idea to keep track of when you start them and when you transplant them. This will help you plan in future years!"...
