At least you will be ok if you have a little disaster with a few of those seedlings.

I have seen your pictures of all your plants, and I have no idea where you put all the seedlings! Where do you sleep? Is there room to sit down? Yikes.

When should I start veggies that I plan to put in the garden?

OMG... I didn't know I should start them so early!

I've got lettuce and greens and beets going....and slow to germinate and grow hot peppers and eggplant.

Will start sweet peppers and tomatoes mid Feb....transplant mid March, ready to plant out mid April.

Would you recommend one of those "heating pad" things for starting tomatoes? I start them in a bay window with a grow light.

I can't plant them outside until May 15 in PA. I didn't get any tomatoes until Sept. last year because they took so long to get big!

If you plant out May 15, I'd start mid March...we had great gardens when we lived in West Chester!

I also have a YouTube channel with some crude but informative videos I made of some things I've figured out that work for me.
