Farmers over here used to use a more basic method, drop their trousers and sit their bare bottom on the soil.

If it didn't make them go AAH, then it was warm enough :D

Well, being a lady through and through, I use the thumb method. When I stick my thumb into the soil and the tip of my thumb isn't cold, I can plant. I won't be trying the bare bum method, much to the relief of my neighbors . . . .
