The originator of the thread.
That Dennis I thinks DennisH said they put out plants in April.
I don’t know how big they were or anything, at this point I am grasping at straws and only making suggestions from what I have read.
For years I put out tomatoes with my parents in Mo and Ok we would put them out early and we started from seed.
We would then protect them from frost with coffee cans.
We always got a ton of tomatoes.
Later in life I got onto gardening again and never got anything but cherry tomatoes to put out.
The reason being is the stores didn’t have plants till it was too late to put out tomatoes.
I tried all f the sprays to no avail still bloom drop.
Then one day I noticed a gardener had huge plants of 2 feet or more in February and they got large tomatoes to set.
Until I started reading on garden web about temperature and bloom set and how sprays did nothing to help I was clueless.
I just put out tomatoes earlier with better luck.
Now I know why my parents started from seed and planted early.
To this day I will put out tomato sets hope for the best and keep plenty in reserve just in case of a late frost or freeze.
I have Carolyn and the rest of the good folks here to thank for this information.
