Well I usually start super early.. last year I planted out in the greenhouse in april again iirc - the usual time for greenhouse planting here is May 15th and I'm nearly always ahead of that.



This year I set the date to start a couple of times already, and when the day came I was not feelin it! It's been really cold and I'm not the only one who delayed planting because.... it's hard to see spring coming. May even be a year without a summer, would not be the first. And I can't do the greenhouse slavery this year - other commitments don't permit.


So this will have to do... It is actually about right for planting outdoors - which has to be after the solstice here realistically, to get tomato temperatures. Conditions being what they are, I'm just going to start seeds for a few lines that need testing outdoors anyway, and see what happens. That way I don't have to worry about a complete fail - I will just have to hold off any precious or special or 'few' seeds until next year.
