Hi
I will be planting my snow peas today (March 15). I planted them this exact day last year and they did really well. Peas like it cold. In a couple of weeks I will be putting out broccoli plants, then will wait until May for tomato plants and peppers, squash, etc.
Good Luck

Mulchwoman - when did your peas start to bear? I didn't plant mine until mid-April, and it was probably the end of June before I had peas.

I grow mainly sugar snap peas, the 6 foot tall type. Most years they go in between the end of February and mid March. If your soil is too wet you could rake in a couple of inches of loose soil from your paths which will raise and warm your pea row. June is pea picking month in New Jersey, my sugar snap peas will often continue to produce into July if the weather stays moderate. There are super early varieties that might be ready in May, peas with a pick date from emergence of 60 days or less, but I haven't tried them. This would also be a good time to plant lettuce.
My German neighbor used to grow fava beans or broad beans. As I recall they are another 'beat the heat' plant and will germinate in cold soil, and I think they must be harvested before the dog days begin.

I am thinking about starting my seeds in the house this year instead of buying plants. Tomatoes Peppers Zuccini, Eggplant and some herbs. Am I too late????

Go for it! A set of heating cables or a heating mat would help to get you off to a quick start, but even without them you should be OK. You'll have smaller plants, but don't be surprised if yours catch up with the rest ours by August.

I just put my sweet pea seeds in their little starter trays and I bought a grow light on e bay to help them get enough light so they don't turn to leggy..also I started my Begonia tubers ...and freesias...one thing I had trouble finding was a grow light in the nurserys around here..I evenually took my search to E bay...let's see what I get when it arrives next week...alot of them were very pricey!!!

Vickie, thank you for the tomato plants. I have lost your number. Please contact me at lakepaola@att.net. Anne.
