I'm also in zone 9, but just got seeds started yesterday! I'm in central Florida, and the frost warning before Christmas is quite rare, plus I'm growing mostly determinates, compacts/dwarf/microdwarf varieties in containers in case any have to be moved or covered. It's still too hot here to be putting transplants out, but I hope I haven't started too late. I'll be starting others later for a late winter/spring arc trying to beat the heat and rains of spring. The only large oblate/beefsteak I'm starting now is Dwarf Purple Reign. That may require some winter precautions.
