Its been a weird spring in the northeast, 47 one day 82 the next. When can I expect plants like tomatoes and eggplant to take off? When the soil warms up?

When nights are consistently above 50 degrees you should see increased growth.

My plants have been growing slowly as well, although I seem to see growth spurts after we have a couple days of warm, sunny weather. I'm in Brooklyn, NY and we've had a lot of cold, overcast days here the last couple of weeks. Looks like we'll be having some consistent warm weather soon though.

I always remember a hippie guy I ran into at the nursery the very first year I wanted to plant a garden. Among all kinds of sound and helpful advice he'd given me, I'd asked him if it was a good time to plant the plants I had in my cart. He shrugged and said, "Sure, you can plant them now. They'll just sit there and do nothing until the weather turns, but when it does, you'll be ready."
