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 🌱

Really? I tend to start late Feb/early March for a somewhat later last frost date. I have decent grow lights so the seedlings don't really get leggy. Our grown season also isn't super long, so I figure the older the plants are by the time they get in the ground the better.
If I want some gourds and stuff I should start them earlier, but if you start them 6-8 weeks before last frost they should be some monsters ready to transplant.
Still gives ~90 days growing, so there’s obviously some stuff that can’t be grown without a cold frame or season extenders.
