| Dbarron, you are so lucky to be able WS tomatoes! I am good with dates, just need to revisit which varieties to be started when, I do too many to be started at once. |

| I think I will, but just a bit. I started my seeds on March 13 this year, and I think next year I'm going to shoot for March 1st. Probably still won't plant out until Mother's Day weekend, but I'm hoping to have some WOWs for next year to give my plants a bit of a jump start. The beginning of summer can be really slow around here. |

| Starting early, in my case, it is both easy and require some extra work. It is easy, because we don't have a danger of frost from early April on. But it is difficult because the weather won't warm up till June. So, you plant early but your plants are just sitting there, unless you do something else. 1- pre warm up the soil (Plastic Cover ) In a lot of places temperature shoot up fast after Mothers day or Memorial Day. So you might as well wait a week or too. But not here at the PNW. Our night lows can be in 40s early July. So there is no one strategy to fit all climates. |
