My Winter Escape: Planning My Tomato Garden

Feb 06, 2010 8 Replies

I live in Philly and we are in the midst of a blizzard, with 20 inches of snow already and still falling! But I'm getting a little spring fever as I am planning my garden and shopping online for seeds. I'll be starting my tomato plants early indoors, so it's almost time to plant! I can't wait.

Me too!!! I`m in va. and we have 14 in. of snow and it`s still coming down. It doesn`t look like it now but we will have sunshine again. Hang in there

That is exciting. Last year, we started a garden but never took care of it. This year, we're going to put more effort into it. I hope we'll be started our planning soon too!

When do you start your seeds? When do you set them outside?

Sounds fun i love the snow!!! when do you start planting?

I live in northern Delaware but due to encroaching shade and deer, put tomatoes and peppers in containers on deck and get a much better start with seedlings from store. Since peppers take a little longer, I believe it was about this time of year, I would start them. Sort of hoping with all this snow, nature may thin the deer herd. I've even had to net off an ivy bed that they were killing.

I found this guy last year but it was too late to do anything with it. This year I'm going to try some of his varieties and instructions:
