The Little Greenhouse That Could.

Gee, I am in zone 4, and plant my tomatoes in the garden at the end of May. Is your frost date really that late? I always feel like I am so far behind!

I have read anything from May 21st to May 29th as a last frost date.
So I play it safe and say May 30th.

The truck farm down the road has Lettuce out already but it is under floating row cover. I will have lettuce out at the end of the month if the ground is permitting.

Looks like your seedlings are coming along nicely, I fertilized ours with some half strength mix. It has made a big difference in growth. Thanks for the tip!

We used miracle grow all purpose. Mixed one teaspoon per gallon of water. We used the miracle grow cause we had it here.

That's what I have been using since Peters sold out.
I use Miracle Grow 20-20-20 (All Purpose) and 10-52-10 (Blossom Booster)

You have the first "trick" to do so Ill post the another of my "tricks"
When plants get there first true leaves -- strength triple 20 (20-20-20)
Two weeks later -- full strength triple 20
One week later and one week intervals until they are set in the ground --- full strength triple 20
When plants are set in the ground -- strength triple 20
Two weeks later and one week intervals -- full strength 10-52-10
