We are doing both the flowers and the vegi's, but I will check out the info. Thanks for the information.

I always start my tomato and pepper seeds indoors. I start them in April. If I started them now, they would be way too big by planting time the endish of May, depending on the weather of course. Unless you transplant them into bigger pots, (mine at least) get too tall and leggy so that's why I don't like to start them too soon. I would not suggest planting a whole package of tomato seeds as you will get way too many plants. Mine are usually smaller than a different variety I may buy from the nursery but they catch up very quickly outside.
