Default Why plant tomatoes 6-8 weeks in advance?

Where are you? Volunteer tomato seedlings are just starting to come up
here in southern Minnesota. If I let them go, they will try to catch up
with the plants I set out. I would get a small crop off of them, even up
here with such a short season.


I am in northern Ontario, Canada. I did plant some Stupice in the hope I will
be able to get a few tomatoes from it before first frost. Stupice ripens early,
so maybe.
