I like to start mine indoors about 3-4 weeks before I plant out. I find they start producing fruit that much earlier.

Bummer on the frost so early, Robyn. Is that usual for your area?


Yeah, it's pretty normal. Mn is basically Canada with no universal health-care.

I was pretty happy with them. It'd have been nice to get them started earlier, but they got really sun shocked when I put them out this spring, which was annoying since I had hardened them off slowly. I don't know, they hated going in the ground. They even had those pots you just put in the ground with them. I ended up putting seeds directly in the ground a few weeks after the transplants and they grew well. Caught up to the transplants and then everything grew about the same rate.
