Tomato in Posadas: soil, season and weather
In Posadas frost, not soil, sets the date: the top 7 cm of soil warms to 15 °C — the minimum on the tomato card — around 9 July, 9 days before the last frost on 18 July, so planting waits only for the week after that frost. Posadas has no autumn frost in the median year, so frost does not end the season.
