Unfortunately missed the six week ahead deadline. Started first seeds 5 weeks before the 24th.
Started 7 or 8 each of Sicilian, San Marzano and Brandywine/ 15 of Cherokee - one full William Dam tray = 38 plants
Also started a half tray (18) of peppers - 9 Northern, 3 Cubanel (only had 3 seeds), 2 Cayenne (may be too old seed) and 4 Jimmy Nardello.
According to my notes, I need to get the rest of the peppers in ASAP as there problems with the plants being too small last year.
Will start more tomatoes next weekend and again the weekend after.
Parsley seeds put in to soak 5 weeks before the 24th.
ADDENDUM-Turns out the 5 weeks was more than enough. The weather was not suitable until about the 27th of May - night time temperatures were too low. 5 weeks was even too long as the tomatoes got quite spindly. 4 weeks would have been long enough especially if fertilizing the young plants as I did this year.
Note, though, this only applies to tomatoes, NOT peppers, and not parsley (which should have been started even 2 or 3 weeks earlier)
