I'll start mine about May 15-20th depending on the weather at the time. My weigh-off isn't until Oct. 15th so I have to start a little later than most.......Paul

I've been starting mine the third week in April. They go in the garden around the second week in May with protection.

For the past few seasons we have started on May 1st, but they seem to mature earlier on this side of the mountians (larger day/night temp swings) so I am going to try May 10th this year using the peat pot in a cooler methode of germinating.

I usually start in April. I have an area that i plant just to give away and i might start those as soon as it is warm about the beginning of April.

All depends on the weather and ground conditions. No point starting plants inside if you won't be able to transplant them fairly soon after they emerge. For me this means anywhere from early to mid May.

I would start my seeds early, but the last two years, I always started my seeds around the beginning of April and they mature way to early. This year I most likely will start them later.

Prediction of our weather guys is a real hot summer (they refer to Jan./Feb. situation the last 20 years). So I´ll start April 10 (in real big pots), out May 1.
