TOMATOES - It is that time already.
Yes people, it is technically 6-8 weeks before our last frost of the season. That is scheduled this year around March 23 according to the Farmer’s Almanac. So, yes, it is time to start those tiny little seeds indoors and let them start to grow.
Unfortunately it was VERY cold out today, so I opted for the indoor planting scenario. When my darling wife Jen found out what I was doing, she had a few choice comments about whether it was really a good idea to use potting soil and water over a white carpet. I could see her point, but man alive, it was nippy out. So below, you can see some of the tools of my craft. The potting soil is from McLendon Hardware, and my seed packets are from Territorial Seeds.

February 23rd is exactly 4 weeks before March 23rd, not 6-8!
Your tomatoes will probably be okay, though. :p
