I'm south of you and I do not start until @ april 15, if you do start early keep them cool so you are not dealing with 2' tall transplants.

seriously? I can't remember when I started them last year...my memory is failing me. I want to say it was Valentine's day, but it might have been St. Patrick's Day, LOL. I always pot up to the bottom of the container from Jiffy Pellets to a paper cup to cut-off 1 liter bottles, and they were less than 1' (with huge root systems of course).
Well, I will be the one pulling up to the plant swap in a landscaper's truck. ![]() |

I'll probably start mine on the weekend of March 6th. That way when I plant out the weekend of May 8th they will be about 9 weeks old. For me that's the right age.

Maaaannnnn!!!!
Now I feel like I need to start earlier. I've had frost on may23rd. I have started early in the past and have been zapped by jack frost. My seedlings are only 6" high when I plant out. I have had good luck with that but I don't get anything real early. Pete |

Going to start mine around March 15 for a plant out date ( I hope ) of May 15. Depends on if the weather will behave.
