Hi all,
I just stumbled unto this forum. I'm in zone 5a and live in the Pocono Mtn. region of PA. I live in a town called "Tobyhanna", but during winter we call it "TobyHORROR" cause the weather can be downright weird. During winter we get freaky snow squalls, thick fog, ice storms, and average pretty heavy snowfalls. Our winter goes from late October til mid-May. Spring is usually cool and rainy. Summers are nice, but we seldom have very hot weather, maybe 4-5 days at the most. And fall, is the most beautiful time of the year.

Just like you guys, growing things here is somewhat of a challenge. I don't have room for starting seeds indoors, but I do winter sow. Other years I started in January, but I'm thinking about starting closer to mid-March. Just curious as to when those of you who do winter sowing, start?
