Default Starting seeds yet?

Zone 5, southern Vermont/NY capital district -

I think it's time to get pepper seeds started - what else should I be
starting from seed this time of year? I expect I'll be able to turn

over
the soil in my backyard boxes (Bartholomew's square foot method) by
mid-April.


I think it is too early for warm weather veggies. If you will turn
over the soil in mid-april, probably you should start your lettuce,
chard, kale and other cool weather crops on March 1, and the tomatoes
and the rest April 1.


Yep, I agree that it's too early. I never start my indoor pepper and tomato
seedlings before March 10 out here in the wilds of Washington state in zone
6, because we can have a frost right up to May 15.

Regards,
Bill
