Cole_Robbie: I do use MG potting mix containing slow release fertilizer as a seed starter (or it's equivalent in other brands). We do have cold springtime temps here but all the seed starting takes place in a temperature controlled basement.

Potting up takes place in the basement as well using the same potting mix as seed starter. Hardening off outdoors in widely changing and fluctuating weather conditions can be a challenge. End of April to the beginning of May weather can range from eighties to forties in the blink of an eye.
