I started my tomatoes this morning. This is a good time to start them if you don't have a greenhouse. Last year, as an experiment, I started them waaay too early at the end of February. They did fine, but there was a month or so when they were too big to fit under lights, so I had them in the south-facing sunroom on cool days, and hauled them outside each day it was warm enough to get more light (sunlight even through a south-facing window is not generally enough light to keep sun-loving plants from getting "leggy" - getting too tall and thin because they're stretching up trying to find more sunshine). Anyway, it was a pain in the &^$%*, let me tell ya! Plus, this year I have a 15-month-old so there is no way I can put plants in the sunroom and keep them safe.
Tomatoes in late March. From now on.
