Its time to start tomatoes from seed too, but I won't bother with tomatoes because I get starts really cheap at Greenleaf. I'll start my zukes and other squash in a couple of weeks because the they big quick and I don't want to have to transplant them.Is Greenleaf open? I bought some kale starts the other day. Left them on my porch... where my chickens ate them down to nubs. My bad.
I am not going to use grow lights; I am going to germinate my seed starts in seed trays in my little greenhouse. I keep a portable heater ready just in case it gets below freezing and it will.
You can also start cool weather plants like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, spinach and lettuce although it's getting a little late. I plan to just buy a few starts of cabbage and broccoli this year.
I am also going to try to find a few brocoflower plants. I can't remember what they are really called, but I had them grilled and they were great.
Happy gardening.
