  After the last week, I’m beginning to wonder if it is time to plant tomatoes and peppers. What do you think? I usually wait till May before putting them in the ground. And should I start the squash? Help just so confused 🙂
  
  The irrigation is set up and ready, just need the plants.

  It is best to wait until May for tender plants like these. Even then, we still have a 30% chance of frost. I wait until after May 10th, and then plant my tomatoes in a cold frame which remains in place for about 3 weeks.
  
  To keep my starts happy until planting time, I’ll transfer them soon from 4″ pots to #1 gallon pots, and keep them indoors under bright light or in the greenhouse.
