Hi everyone. I live in Northern California and I always start my veggie garden too soon. I end up having to start a second time because I get impatient. I am just wondering when other people start your "hot" weather stuff like tomatoes, zucchini, etc?

hey I live way over on the other side of the country and I planted some seeds recently and will transplant them outside in May or June, I would treat those like pot, wait till the temps go up and the last thaw and you should be good, as long as the nights arnt to cold

Thanks Dr. We have what I refer to as a "fake spring" and I always start my garden. Then it gets cold and rainy again. I always get "faked out." I think you are right about the time. I will shoot for May/June instead of March/April. Yo would think I would have learned by now. But it is so fun getting the garden going!

Hey Loudblunts that is a great idea. I never even thought of it!!! Know you got me thinking.....I could get me tomatoes and such going right noe. Good thinking. I am hot on it! Thanks

not a problem babes. im still in love with your new grow area...


wouldnt need any garden gnowms/helpers would ya?

You are funny LoudBlunts. yeah i could use a garden gnowm to help diagnose all my rookie moves. I am making myself crazy. Every time I think I have it all figured out a new problem arises. I am learning as I go, but it is trickier than I thought. So garden gnowm, hopefully you are not like the Travelocity gnowm..LOL...I will tell my hubby your good reviews - he will be thrilled that I put it on RIU.

Tomatoes are great to start indoors and have ready for the season. I have early girls and heirlooms on a 24 hr cycle right now. You can be a few weeks at least ahead of someone planting seed in spring. I am really enthused about hot radishes right now as well.

Anyone tried Sungold tomatoes? They are a small, super sweet tomato that grows like crazy - 5 feet tall and the tomatoes are a yellowish red. They are my favorite! I grow them in big clay pots and they just keep producing tomatoes all season.
