Two weeks after Easter. There usually is a cold snap after Easter that will knock 'em back. When I had my 1400SF mini farm I would plant May 1st. I could't tell the difference if I planted earlier and sometimes the cold set them back. As for varieties I always started from seed and planted 13 selected from the heirloom varieties. You would lose 2-3 every year to something but the taste is sooooo much better. If you see a plant "Cherokee Purple", that is my favorite. They don't keep long on the table but they won't last long anyway once you taste them. Brandywine is a good one too. Next year get on Tomato Grower's Supply catalog list for seeds. BTW it seemes like the old Better Boys have become suseptible to blight. I got to where I couldn't grow them successfully. Might have been soil bourne though. One lst tip don't plant in the same place each year and interplant marigolds.
