start seeds indoors about 6 weeks before planting outside, I start mine indoors in seed starter pots. When to tall for seed starter; put in cold frame,if temps are still cool. If they start to grow long root systems and put on new leaves, temps are still varying, I put transplant them into garden. I use one or two liter plastic cola bottles (or anything tall enough..clear plastic containers)cut off top or bottom of container and use as a small quarium till the weather is warm. is this clear as mud??
