ckf Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 It's getting to be that time of year again. I just started a 12 pack of tomatoes yesterday. 6 cherry tomatoes and 6 early fruiting tomatoes.vThat should give them about 6 weeks under the grow lights before going outside around June 1st. Anyone else start their own seeds inside or do you buy the plants when it is time to plant? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we were in Ossipee it was usually sometime around May 20th. Here in IP it's around the 1st of June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My little semi-greenhouse definitely helps up here for warm weather fruit like tomatoes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I definitely don't have a green thumb and my wife plants some flowers every year so that's our extent of gardening. We have a couple local farmers that will bring in produce and set up a small stand at a couple locations around town that we buy from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems shooting 10 million rodents over the years finally caused the stoppage. Not being home for a few days at a time didn’t really help either. I have 2 great friends that own farms and grow everything so just stopping and buying what we want is convenient. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racinfarmer Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 1st round of peas are planted, started planting onions and carrots. 1st round of sweet corn will probably go in soon. Put potatoes in the garden on Sunday. Waiting for everything else. 1st year we'll be able to pick asparagus too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope your wife is on the mend. I just looked this afternoon and there are 2 of the 12 tomatoes are above ground. I'll check again tomorrow to see how many more have germinated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
