My local Los Angeles, Calif and San Fernando Valley nursery says is
OK now to plant Brandwine and other similar variety tomatoes.
Other internet sources indicate that night temperatures are not at least
55 F so is too early. They indicate planting tomatoes in too cool soil
sets back the tomato plants. They indicate better to plant late April or
early May.

For Los Angeles, Calif and San Fernando Valley Can someone indicate
when is OK to plant my 4 inch pot 75 day maturing tomatoes in ground?

Thanks, Dave_s

Plant them now and cross your fingers. Tomatoes can take cold temps quite
well so long as you don't get a hard frost. Peppers and eggplants are
another story - I would not rush to put them out, but toms will do just
fine.

We had a hard frost again last night. We have two months to go before last
frost date, I haven't even planted toms/eggplants/peppers inside yet. I'm
going to get a few started now in bigger pots, but the bulk of my crop I
won't plant for another two weeks.
