RobinB....the season is short. DDsack has about the same season as
Bemidji, Mn and Int'l Falls, Mn vie for the coldest spots in the lower 48.
So, yes, I will start all plants here and hopefully have them about 18" high
by mid April and will bring them into motels with us and as soon as we
arrive in the Canadian wilderness, they will go into the hoophouse and
plant out will be near June 1. I leave on Oct. 1 for Calif. , so don't know the
actual end of the season, but soon after. DDsack could answer that. I
would assume DDsack has a greenhouse for doing similar headstartt stuff.
I end up leaving a ton of green tomatoes to rot. In Oct., there is noone out
there to give them to and I don't want to haul them and ask strangers if
they want green tomatoes. LOL
