Starting up 18 varieties of tomatoes, after creating some more bed space for this year. It's so nice to sit down and take some time to start the seeds 🌱

I planted mine already but maybe it was a mistake. We’re past the chance of frost but experienced gardeners are telling me the soil is too cold still. Also it was hailing torrentially yesterday lol. We’ll see how it works out I guess.

It’s a small garden so if they don’t make it I can always try again.

If you can, get some black plastic over the soil to help get temps up.

I tend to plant early after our last frost, when soil temps are still pretty low, and they plants don't really seem to care. They just don't take off that fast, but they do get less leggy.
