  Pre-Salad Days  
 
  Looking forward to fresh, vine-ripe tomatoes at your summer barbecues? Well, now is the time to start growing the plants indoors. Roughly six weeks before your area's normal last-frost date, get the plants going. One crucial thing to remember:
Tomato seedlings prefer 75 to 80-degree soil so, unless you keep your house jungle-hot, use heating mats underneath the planters. Once the last frost passes, take no more than a month to get the plants transplanted outdoors.
