Planting Seeds Outside?

lillivewire87 · July 22, 2015

I have already started one inside...(I actually planted 4...three sprouted and then I went on vacation for 4 days and only one survived) and I would like 3 more Red Robin Cherries. I am starting them this late so I can move the pots into our covered porch area once it starts to get cold and maybe have some later cherry tomatoes to snack on in the fall.

Anyway...since our days are anywhere from 75-95 and our nights haven't dropped below 55 (and weather report shows no sign of that changing) would I be ok to try and germinate some more directly outside? Or would it be too hot? I don't leave for vacation again anytime soon, so hopefully the next batch will have a chance to survive however I do it.

This is my first year ever trying to grow any tomatoes from seed...I have always bought these as seedlings in the past.
