Thank you! Always learning from you! Much appreciated!
Hi, Gary! I'm just wondering why you've already started your tomatoes if you're not transplanting until May? I grow them both in and outside the high tunnel. I usually start them in January, and plant them in the high tunnel in March. My last frost date was April 2nd. I noticed even the tomatoes in the tunnel do not put on growth until about late April or May and they don't produce earlier than ones I planted outside or even later outside. I plan to start mine February 15. I'm tired of potting up, and I had planned to keep the plants in the smaller 6 packs. Thanks for explaining the root situation in smaller trays! I guess I'll use the larger 6 packs.
I was wondering would your prop plants thrive if you continued to grow them inside until it was warm enough to put outside or would they be too big? And I was wondering do you have any tips on seed starting flowers or frost tolerant veggies indoors and when you should start those? Like peas beans leaf vegetables etc?
Thank you some good info always wondered why my toms didn't take off and turned purple đ
I appreciate the good information.
What you have said here is good information BUT you didn't talk about growing in containers that can warm up much sooner. Last year I had plants in containers in March —- if I was getting frost at night I put them in the garage then back out in the morning when the sun was shinning strong, it worked out well had tomatoes by July.
