Stating too early can be worse than too late in many ways.
Remember that as long as your plants are out there braving the elements, they are also being assaulted by every pest in the land. The longer they stay out there, the more chance the bugs gain a foot hold. Also the longer your plants are in the dirt the more chance of a deficency or lockout showing up.
Growing trees brings a lot of baggage. It takes a long time to get them big, & the whole time it's a ticking time bomb!

The trick is to start as late as possible & still achieve your desired return.

Good luck

NOW I ask! :-) Currently they're under my seedling lights (like shoving, obnoxious teenagers at a concession stand), will obviously need more seedlings lights for the veggies I should be starting, and then perhaps it will be warm enough to throw them out in the greenhouse w/ a little heat until it's past the last frost.

Started with raw land, and never used chemicals, so the location is balanced and "pest free". Ducks manage the slugs, when the bob cats don't manage the ducks, and two bags of lady bugs in 15 years have flown away overnight looking for food. Very lucky that way. All last season I read about bud worms, grasshoppers, deer.... we have none of that, just rain. If I can keep these things alive until they won't freeze, my next worry is mold in late September, not counting the smart ass pilots who fly the Life Flight helicopter.

BUT...watching their growth and the room I have for this caper, this is going to get pretty funny before it's all over. MaxSea it is! Just can't not feed them now that they're here. I have plenty of time to start over and do it right if things crater. Thanks! Easy to advise "starting late", but that's like postponing Christmas to a newbie! Lesson learned.

Going out too early exposes your plants to many issues you may not have had to deal with, if you started later.

The earlier you start the longer the odds of success. Later start's limit your yield. Your job is to find that happy medium.

I know a grower here in NorCal that complained to me last year, that he got his plants out too late, the middle of June.
He still got 7lbs from 1 of his plants!

Yes, you can use it. I have used it. The sun here in Sac cooks it & it may not last the full season. I've had to change it mid-season!
You can cover a carport with real 6mil 'greenhouse film' from Farmtek for $27.
Good luck

I'm sorry to see that there won't be a 2012 Carport thread this year, I really enjoyed last year's run and was looking forward to this year.
Thanks for being an inspiration DJJ!
