Default Starting seeds now??

I have procrastinated to the point where I think I might be a bit late.
I want to know if you (the collective you) think it too late to plant
tomato and pepper seeds indoors? Or should I pass and just buy the
plants in the spring. I have everything, I just need to sow them. It is
a bit of a hassle for me to keep the plants/seedlings watered and
lighted or I wouldn't care. Zone 5 N.Illinois. Thanks much. Stan



No, you're not too late if you hurry. Put the seeds in wet paper towels in
a warm place for a few days, then plant them. I had tomato seeds germinate
in 3 days this way (I'm glad I checked them and saw the little roots) and
hot pepper seeds up in a week.

On top of the fluorescent light fixture near the ballast is a good place to
provide warmth.

Best regards,
Bob
