I start tomatoes in clean yogurt cups, the kind with a plastic
lid. I use Supersoil. Put the lid on and set them on top of the
refrig. where it is nice and warm. When germinated, they go
onto the bookcase top in the south bedroom window where it
is nice and sunny. The cups are set in an old photographic
developing tray (yard sale: 25 cents)
When large enough plants are transplanted into 4 inch pots
which are set on trays (old cafeteria trays, yard sale 10 cents)
When its warm enough outside trays are carried out and put
in the sun on the patio table.
When nights are warm, they stay out under the patio roof in
case of a late frost.
They are just about ready to be planted out.

Unfortunately, I still got my cabbage, peas, lettuce, and onions under
the lights (three weeks and counting). Hopefully, come April I'll get my
warm weather plants started. The soil doesn't normally get up to seventy
until mid-May but I'll probably start month old plants (4 corn, 3
squash, 3 cukes, 10 tomatoes, 3 melons, 10 beans, and 3 bitter melons)
with clear plastic around the first of May. Then it will be more
lettuce, herbs, corn, and beans.

My green manure, pulses, seems to be doing well, and I've got my fingers
crossed.

I'm setting up two chairs and a table in the shade of the bamboo, so
that we can watch the evening.
