Maybe this is the thread to help with my problem. Due to such a short season
in the Canadian wilderness, I am planning to start about 90 plants here in
San Diego in my hoophouse. I will transport them in open bins in my
trailor. The trailor will have a heavy tarp cover with a 3 1/2 X 7' heavy plastic
window in it. Night heat will be with thick candles. I would like to arrive
with plants about 18" tall, put them in my Canada hoophouse and plant out
about mid May. I would like that 18" height by the 24th of April or so. I am thinking that I need to seed about March 1st to meet
those objectives. Thoughts or suggestions. So far my biggest concern is
the bouncing of the trailor. If I had more space here, I would start one
complete set about Feb. 15th and a back-up on the 1st of March. Maybe a
compromise and go for Feb. 22nd?
