That's not a little early for New Jersey?
re:
I don't think so ; I'm starting a week or so earlier than last year ~
Last year I started on March 6th.
I was held back last year from getting all veggies in the garden due to travel to KC MO, & Chicago ...
Planted out first weekend of May for maters ~
I did wait until Mothers Day to plant out peppers though ~

I live @ the bayshore (central) so its always warmer ;
like 3-5 degrees warmer than west or north New Jersey.
I know because I work in NNJ, and I watch my temp guage drop in my car ! lol ~
Its pretty funny driving up to family functions ~ we have no snow ? They have lots !

When's your last frost date?
re:
My last frost date is April 4th - and thats for Newark which is 40 minutes north/west of me ~
If you look at some "zone maps" I'm at the tip of the 7/6 zone ~ I plan on planting the maters out the last week of April ? or first weekend of May ...
(weather depending, of course lol) My family in NNJ, plant out around Mothers Day or Memorial Day ~

Did you buy a roll of CRW or the sheets?
re:
I bought the roll from Lowes
(great selection of Ferry Morse herbs btw) ~

My dad came down with the "bolt/wire cutters" on Sunday ~ The roll is 6ft tall with 6 inch square holes ~
I will prob. make them 5 ft. tall and use some of the left over wire as anchors @ the bottom , or get bamboo sticks and tie at the base of each for wind resistance (sometimes gets windy @ the bayshore in the spring/summer ; there is always a constant breeze).
I did get a translucent rustoleum to spray them with for the salt / "rust factor" ...
Not sure how that will work out but will try ~

I'll show pics of progress !
jtcm05 where are you at ?
