You can't blame the cost of anything on an unexpected frost. You could have planted store bought plants and had the same thing happen.tedln wrote:Many comments in this thread debate the value of raising tomato plants from seed. This past winter was my first to grow from seed and all of the plants I grew were eventually killed during an unexpected frost. It didn't really matter to me because I was able to replace most of my varieties from nurseries. It did cause me to question the value of growing from seed if I can buy most of the same plants from nurseries.
