Posting inspired me to look since I am behind the curve on creating my calendar of what I am growing let alone the dates to start things. It was a very Covid Christmas and it looks like I am probably getting a community garden plot nearby in addition to the backyard.

The petunias are a long lead time (and technically perennial even if there's zero chance of surviving my winter.) 10-12 weeks long lead time. They are all going in containers that are not even in contact with the ground so I am waiting till I am really sure frost is past to plant. It's getting close even with all that. I'm thinking first week of Feb if I start more indoors. I might risk it and not start any indoors. The community garden spot is likely going to stretch my starting space/resources.

No pressure. Just make a plan in the next week or so before I start executing the plan.
