I live in the St. Louis area and we had a heckuva winter. Even tonight it is supposed to get down in the twenties. I didn't want to start them before I could leave them out. I've been nursing a parsley plant, sage and rosemary all thru the winter and that is the only window with a sun exposure.
You will love the Brandywines if you haven't had them before.. I grew some last year and they have a very good flavor. This year I am growing stuff only on the deck. My raised garden has done tomatoes for the last three years and I am going to let it rest for a year. I have had good luck with growing some tomatoes in 5 gallon containers and being single that is enough for me and a few for friends.
I am trying something new this year I found on you tube. It's called a pop bottle garden. I have it all ready to go and will try some herbs, a few kinds of lettuce and my beloved jalapenos. I will have to make a cage for it to keep out the squirrels and bluejays. They love to dig in the soil
Good luck to everybody with their gardens starting. Hopefully it will be a good year for all and lots of those good homegrown veggies.
