Early-Mid March

As tempting as it may be, to ensure your greatest success do not start your seeds too early. Seeding too early will lead to your seedlings stretching for light and making them leggy and weak. These seedlings will not thrive once it's time to transplant. A smaller transplant will do better outdoors than a tall leggy one. Your goal is to have a nice healthy stocky plant.
Happy Planting!
