REALLY? I heard of tropical varieties of tomato plants, but I didn't know they had seeds for the arctic circle.... Hey! You 'north of 60'? Like the TV show? The 'not a tornado' broke dozens of tomato plants last night, a tree top landed and rolled by some winter wheat- but just a cover crop, neighbor's horse eats it for free, I ain't complaining, could be a heck of a lot worse. That grasshopper thing will/ might pass you by, hopefully, they will fly off before your seed sprouts. I put stuff in 2 weeks ago just barely popping up here and there, and you can cook an egg on the hood of your Fargo pickup.

Grasshoppers came through here a few years ago. They ate everything. First they ate the leaves off the fruit trees, then they ate the bark, trees died.We got some chickens and they saved the house garden.
