All,

Well, I learned this year how early is *too* early (killing most of my
seedlings by putting them out in mid-April), but now I'm wondering...

How late is too late to bother? Should I go ahead and try to start my
cukes and musk melons over again? Should I expect anything out of the
grape tomato seedlings I just planted?


If you don't plant you know you will have 0 harvest. If you do plant
you have at least some chance of harvesting some things. All it can
cost is the seed and fertilizer.

Also, when do *you* start your indoor seedlings? I think I started
mine too early and I put them out too early because they were getting
quite large.

I'll remember any hints you give me until next year... I promise!

YOu want to plant them indoors about 6-8 weeks before putting them in
the ground. May 1 is my target date so back up to somewhere between
March 1 and 15. I start tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants, but most
other things I just plant the seed in the ground around May 1. It is
better to over plant and have to thin than to get spotty germination.
