Are you planting your tomatoes and peppers

[Karen Andersen]

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.

We could still have some colder weather in April…..hey experts–what do you think?

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.
