Default Useless Tomato Seedlings?

produce anything, then die, correct?


Got about 50-60 days till killing frost? If so, plant them out. They'll
produce.

FWIW, I used to plant tomatoes from direct seeding in central Iowa when the
soil temp hit about 60oF. They produced well, and first tomatoes
on those plants were often about even with "set out" plants --
at most a couple of weeks behind.
