Gail, I don't know where you are, but if you wait until the soil warms 
enough to transplant, you can direct seed tomatoes in the garden, and they 
won't be more than a week behind 6-week-old transplants.  Dr. Kay Lancaster 
had a contest with one of her professors, when he told her he'd be picking 
ripe tomatoes within a week of her, from his direct seeding.  That was in 
Iowa, and he was picking ripe tomatoes that fast. Transplanting really 
seems to set back tomato plants.  I know when I set them out, it takes a 
week or ten days for them to change color to a darker green, then they 
really take off.  Margaret L
