I know it isn't April 15, but I ordered my tomatoes from a catalog and they arrived Friday. If it turns cold again, I can cover them. I dug a hole 30"deep/1' wide with a post hole digger and filled the hole with compost. I stripped the leaves off leaving the 3 top leaves and planted the plant with only the leaves exposed. The theory here is the plant will have a nutrient filled space for the roots to develop quickly and deep for a sturdy plant with a very deep root system. I planted 18 plants(12 different varieties) this Sunday and plan to plant another 18 in 3-4 weeks. This way I should have plenty of fruit all season long.
