Starting from seed takes a while. I lost the first 18 because of my own stupidity. I planted the 2nd batch on Feb 14th. They are very much ready to go into the big garden as soon as I'm sure the weather will be ok for it.

One wrap of aluminum foil around the stalk, a sprinkling of rock phospate at the bottom of the hole, and in they go.

I managed to grow stocky starts this year, instead of leggy ones. Being stingy with the water, and keeping them cool and out in the cold frame really helped.
