Tomatoes are one of the most popular vegetables grown in a home garden. Tomatoes love the heat and require full sun and a long, frost-free season. Tomatoes that do not get at a minimum of at least 6 hours of sun per day will cause plants to be weak and spindly.

Most research suggests that tomatoes can be planted outdoors from late May through early June. This year with the unusually cool weather May 10^th may have been too early to plant outside. Although time was given to hardened off your tomatoes, the soil temperature in your raised beds needed to be at least 60 F degrees to prevent growing problems with tomatoes and their fruits and roots.
