When to start

Silken · February 14, 2010

I was wondering when I should start my seeds in ct. If anyone can point me to where I can get the average dates of the last frost. It would be much appreciated.

Pick your state from the drop down menu then find the city nearest you.

Where you live, you want to plant out between May 15-30'th. I start seeds according to the moon and the constellations, like our ancestors 2000+ years ago. Sow seeds this year then on 3/23 or 3/24 for best results.
Otherwise, start seeds in the 3 days before the full moon on March 29 for quick germination. I've had germination in 24 hours by sowing tomato seed a day before the full moon. Of course it was in my furnace room where it is usually 85 degrees, but all other times it took 3-4 days.
