Is it too early to start indoors now?

Starters around about 6-8 weeks out of plant. I put my stuff in pots so I can always move it inside if we get a cold snap. -- nm - Bacon Jan 31, 10:57
I wonder if you could adapt these for veggies? -- (link) - ML Jan 31, 10:47
Yes. Very. Assuming you want to plant them outside in early May, start them 45-60 days before that. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 31, 09:49
which veggies? We have an outdoor garden plot at a local park that we'll be planting soon. - Beryllium Jan 31, 09:18 3
- Nathan the veggie lover helped me pick out seeds, so I think we have way more than we will need. - kelly Jan 31, 09:45 2
  - The carrot seeds should go directly into the ground. They won't transfer well. -- nm - Dano Jan 31, 10:05
  - Oh, right, I forgot about carrots. Kieran are them before I could see them. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 31, 09:46
when's your typical last frost? -- nm - Reagen Jan 31, 09:16 7
- Mid-April is the last real 'risk' but May 1st is the almost certainty date. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 31, 09:39 6
  - Then I would start late February - Reagen Jan 31, 09:41 5
    - I'm planning on starting them in Greek yogurt cups. Can I plant them directly into the ground when it's time, or do I have to work up in size? -- nm - kelly Jan 31, 09:54 4
