One nice surprise this morning:

Checking my seed starts, 10 of 12 of the seeds from those great tasting “unknown” orange color tomatoes germinated overnight. Woo-hoo!

Nothing’s going “out” soon though - it looks like a possible frost NEXT Monday (and maybe tonight too).

Good for you the tomatoes! Overnight germination is always a great “surprise” to discover. :-)

Re the possible frost, I’d definitely err on the side of caution and wait a couple days after that date to put ‘em outside. (Or, if they’re already outside, maybe just turn a bucket or large pot upside-down & put it over the seedlings?

When they produce, post a photo if possible!

Aww nuts. Your second sentence about nothing going “out” yet just now sank into my pea brain. Time for more coffee to get the brain cells working! LOL
