I saw on the Tomato Thread that you, too, don't start your tomatoes until March 1st. so when should I start those shistito seeds?? (I read . . somewhere. . that pepper seedlings grow so slowly, they should be planted a month BEFORE one starts their tomatoes.)
Since I also have Listrada something seeds, an Italian heirloom eggplant , when - in relation to my tomatoes- should I start those?
I plant out my tomatoes the first week or so of May (exactly always depends on those dratted soggy spring days), but I read that eggplant was more susceptible to the cold than tomatoes: should I plan on planting out the eggplant about 2-3 weeks later?
