============
In cooler climates you can plant using the trench method. IE - dig a
small trench, lay the plant sideways and cover up to to seed leaves, or
remove some of the lower leaves and increase the trench size. The
reason for the trench method is to develop a better root system since
the plant is closer to the (warmer) surface. I've tried it both
ways(Zone 5b), no noticible difference in tomato production.
