Depends on what you're planting. Tomatoes, for example, require temperatures of between 59-68 degrees for optimum fruit setting. Wait too long to plant them and the plants won't mature until after average our morning low temperatures get above 70 degrees in May. That would significantly reduce fruit output.
I think we're done with freezes here this winter.
Tomatoes are one of them, along with cucumbers, watermelon , strawberries ,cantaloupe and some herbs.
As long as we don't get any freezing temperatures , they should be ok , if i plant them now ?

Better get those tomatoes in ASAP if you want any fruit. They won't set many fruit once nighttime lows reach 70 or greater (May). I believe that strawberries also don't mind any cool weather. Cucumbers & melons like it warmer.
