If you have forced hot air in your house they work well also.

Never tried them, it would be good for getting the boy smell out of @manfredo 's rental properties.

Yesterday I harvested all my spinach and lettuce, it's been getting warm and the lettuce was gearing up to bolt. Tomato and pepper seedlings are outside and happy. Our cool weather is ending quickly

Wow how early can you start there? Everything started early this year. Trees are just starting to bud, I haven't seen any tulips or daffodils yet. Lots of dandelions tho.

Lettuce and peas like it cold and you can start them early...Not sure if they can handle snow though!! I will cover them with a heavy blanket and tarp tonight. I am glad I didn't plant anything else like I was thinking about...I figured this would happen!! My plow is still on, just in case!!

Ontario planting guide says Apr 8 - Apr 23 for lettuce. Weird that seems so early to me.

I got pricked by Hugh Dong awesome name! Got back to the car and couldn't contain my emotions, I think the guy in teh car next to me thought I was crazy. This has been such a long year.

I don't put tomatoes, peppers and squash into the ground until mid May because we can still have a frost. I start them in pots around Feb-Mar and just pot them up until ground time. I'm in zone 8, hot dry summers and cold temp winters(usually 10 nights around 25F) and 60+ days around freezing.

We're in 9A, I usually plant about easter time. We have this stupid microclimate where we will get frost when most places nearby don't. I think the cold air follows the drainage out of the mountains.

Plow came off a couple weeks ago..... it'll just make a bigger mess and it will be gone fast.

Lay a couple tomato cages on their side then drape a sheet over that. Should be fine.

I gave them a heavy blanket with the tarp over that. That's all I can do short of bringing my electric blanket out and I'm not sharing

yeah, I have a micro too, my property is a strip E to W hilly to the west and flat in the east, house is roughly midway at foot of hill so cold air drains down

When I lived at 1500 feet in the Motherlode, we were hotter in the summer and colder in the winter than the adjacent Valley.

You get those peppers to sprout? I can't wait to get a review on them after you munch down the first red one, lol.

yeah, 3 sprouted. I'm testing so one is outside in a pot (doing well) and other 2 are in a tent with 600W LED. I keep track of night temps so if a frost is expected I'll shelter the outside one. I'll only put one in the ground this year, keep the other two in pots as it can be a perennial if not frost killed.

They are a very pretty plant when mature so I'll put 2 in large nice pots lol

That's almost similar to our spring climate. I tried growing two tomato plants last year. I thought I was buying beefsteak but one turned out to be cherry tomatoes. The beefsteak didn't turn out very well, bugs got them. They cherries were good but not worth the effort. Same for my lame auto amnesia, turned that whole thing into edibles.

Try again for the tomatoes, best start from seed and look into Northern varieties;seed catalog and look into Polish and Russian var. Many years ago I grew some Russian ones for a lark, were quite good. They didn't like the heat though

I have one in a big pot I bring in in the winter and I start some new ones from it's seeds to put out in the yard.
I would have thought there would have been more viable seeds.

I don't have greenspace to plant so I used a 75 liter trash can and the wind blew it over a couple times. I need to find something that's lower and large enough volume. I got the rooted plants at the nursery last time. Seeds are better?

it's just me, I guess I have a dirty mind.
