Can you tomato experts help me out please. I have the SFG and tried planting tomatoes directly (end of May). Didn't get a thing. Not even a single seedling. Tried to start them indoors twice, and seedlings have popped up, but first time, I didn't get them outside and into the box fast enough.

Now, I have retried, starting them in peat pots indoors. I have seedlings on both Romas and Brandywines about two inches long. But I only have the "cotyledons". Not true leaves yet.

My question; WHEN do I starting putting them outside to "harden off", which I've read so much about. Looking at my pics, is it too early now? I don't put them in the garden at this early stage, do I? Help please?!
