The best way to explain where things are is to show you the picture of the tomatoes under lights in my garage, below. As of today, pretty much all peppers and eggplant and most tomatoes have been planted, and most of those are living under lights in the garage. We certainly need some warmer days and milder evenings. I can't see starting to transplant any time soon, so my current estimate for first seedling availability is Saturday April 13....it could indeed be a week later, but it all depends on the weather!

Craig..do you do anything with your seedlings that have the seed coat stuck to them? I pick them off when I transplant, but was wondering if picking them off earlier would be helpful or harmful. I know they are pretty delicate at this stage. Any thoughts are always appreciated.

Hi, James, I tend to not have many problems with them - if they seem stuck, I just mist them regularly and the coats tend to release while the plastic is loosely covering them...otherwise, keep misting and they tend to fall off....on rare occasions, I do pick them off. I don't think they set anything significantly back timewise.
