Pics from this morning. Mostly different varieties of Romaโs with some Jalapeรฑos and Tomatillos mixed in. Awesome! That's a nice spread.

Thanks Derek. I've gleaned some really good advice here. I've been adding Alfalfa pellets to my garden in addition to composted manure, and I fertilize with Ammonium Sulfate. My Tomatoes were incredible last year. This year, I built a cold frame so I can keep the seedlings in the garden instead of moving them in and out of the house. That's been really nice. My staple Tomatoes are from Burpee: Big Mamma Roma, Little Mama Roma, standard Roma, Summer Girl. This year I've added a Seedless variety, and a Cherry Roma. Fun stuff, just wish my garden were larger. I'll give a bunch of these away to family, and may have some left-over. If I do, I'll put out a call on the TFF for anyone who wants to swing by and pick up some.

I just started to germinate my seeds this weekend. All the basics, tomatoes, cucs, summer squash, zucchini, cantaloupe, watermelon, corn, carrots, and a few I'm forgetting. Am I doomed from the get go?

Am I doomed from the get go? That's a good list. I started my tomatoes a week ago, and my cucs and squash last weekend. I haven't gotten into growing loupes and melons. I just don't want vines all over my yard. They probably have more compact varieties available nowadays but I haven't looked.

With the 15th warmest winter on record to date it's very doubtful I will have a whole lot of peaches this year, it will probably be a bad year for pecans as well. Just not enough chilling hours I don't think we will break 600 hours below 45 degrees unless something drastic changes in the weather, most of my varieties require at least 750 or above. I need to get the tractor fired up and get the garden tilled in, I've been procrastinating.

David,
How does it play out when you don't get the chill hours you need? Do the peaches set then fall off before maturity, or they just don't set? My peach trees are in full bloom and the bees are working them hard.
Thanks..GJ

Checked all my seedlings this morning and most have started to root. I will be transplanting to small pods with dirt this evening.
One question for you guys that start indoors. Is it essential to have some sort of light source for optimum growth? I was just going to put them by a window...

IMO a good light source is essential. Window sill lighting is short on the amount of light it provides, only provides light from one side and is filtered. Your plants will get long and "leggy" and not develop a good strong root system. We're not going to get nerdy on this and get into the red/blue light spectrum. All you need is a good bright light. You can go Fluorescent, LED, whatever. I prefer LED as it's cheap and doesn't put off much if any heat. Don't have to worry about burning my plants. The key is to use a bright bulb. 5500k minimum. I prefer 6500K. Here is what I use. I'm running them 16 hours a day. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DNPL2VC?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Also it helps if you have a fan on them. You don't need hurricane force winds blowing on them. Just a light breeze. It helps stiffen their stems and they will be able to handle the strong spring winds once you plant them outside.
