When to start veggies??

| I haven't started any veggies yet. I am in Nova Scotia and was wondering when most of you will be starting your veggie seeds. In past years I feel as though I always started too early.
I want to sow:
tomatoes
cucumbers
peas
beans
squash
peppers
and perhaps a couple of other things.
Thanks, Lisa |

Hi Lisa:
I have not had success in our cold winters with WSing tomatoes. This year, I am experimenting with tomatoes in a very protected environment - old cooler, insulated with styrofoam, covered with a glass window - on April 1, but I will also be planting some under lights as usual in late March/early April along with my peppers which I find benefit from the early start. All the other veggies you mentioned I direct sow as soon as it is warm - usually early May here in Ottawa. Good luck!!
