Not sure yet as I have not picked up my 2010 Blum's Almanac. (no, I don't really know if seeding and planting by the signs really works. Maybe they just do better because I pay more attention when I seed and plant that way)
This past year peppers seeded March 26th, Tomatoes April 2nd for May 7/8th set out. 2010 hopefully close to that. TimothyT |

I used to be in zone 5, but in the eyes of the newest hardiness zone map done by the Arbor Day folks I am now in zone 6a. My last "average" frost date is April 28 (give or take a week each side of that) with record last frost May 15. Therefore armed with that information I will begin tomato seed planting March 17 at 10:37 a.m.

Hopefully, I'll have mine started by Jan 1st and start planting in stages mid-february.....I had plants in the ground last february 1st and had several freezes which had me scrambling and they just sit there til March came around.....

For me I will most likely start my maters in March.May start a few seeds a little early that I want to try to get some early maters. Peppers are a different story as some are some like Bhut that can take a while to germinate. So pepper planting will begin at the end of January and continue through February. Eggplant will most likely be started the same time as tomatoes.

I'll be starting seeds beginning the second weekend of January for myself and those I grow for in the Houston area. I have a friend who lives in the College Station area, and I will start his seeds mid February. I busied myself today turning composted cow manure into my beds.

Even facing the coldest winter Houston has seen in 15 years, I could not stand the waiting any longer. Last night I mixed up a bucket of planting mix and seeded Brandy Boy, Bush Early Girl, Carnival, Grape, Marianna's Peace, New Big Dwarf, Persimmon, Sweet 100, and Solar Fire. I may regret it come late in February if I run out of space under the lights, but 70 % of the palnts are for other folks so I'll let them deal with them at that time.

I planted out last week, then my mom killed about 3/4 of them "helping" me. She put the seedling flats outside in the sun with the domes on. Well they are ok to go outside, even with the domes on, but not to sit in the sun, out here in the desert, the sun even in winter is very harsh. So most of the little plants that were about a inch tall died. I had to replant. I swear her "help" causes me much more work than it should.
BUT what I can say about the desert, is that I have been getting nice ripe red Gardeners Delights, and Cherokee Chocolates for about the last 2 weeks. It has been very nice! AND my dad is getting the greenhouse up so that I can put some beds in there, and a work bench or two. I plan to plant out somewhere between Feb 21, and March 1. Sammiek. |
