Kissnabrit is right..What she said applies to all Northern states.. If they get too leggy, say 12" to 14" just plant them half underground..In other words plant them 6" deep. Tomato plants are not fussy how deep they are.

I start mine on April 15, and plant them outside May 20. if a late frost threatens after theyre planted out, then cover each plant with a jug (with bottom cut out) or an upside-down bucket.
About 5-6 weeks is a good amount of time between starting seed and planting out. find out what the average day of lasy frost is for your zone, then go back 6 weeks and use that for seeding time.

You can start them anytime you have the time. The longer you have to start the seedling the bigger they get for transplants. The bigger the plants the earlier you can get tomatoes for you table. I'm starting my now for the farm in may . They will be bigger transplants then the ones I would buy at the farm store. Plus you can get a larger variety for your garden then what available at the garden centers or nurseries. Good luck growing.

Peat pots ease transplanting. some years i'm no longer in administration and direct seed outside, meaning many eco-friendly tomatoes get frozen on the vine. fortunate you in zone 7 ought to commence them outside once the soil is continually warmth, and nevertheless get a lengthy transforming into season. desire this enables.

It depends on where you live, how warm it is, etc. In Michigan people usually start indoor plants about April or May for a June outdoor planting. I've grown them from seed and have found that spending a tiny bit more for plants is much easier. Good luck with your planting!

Sign up for this guy's newsletter...and surf his web site. You'll learn a lot. I forget the name of his site, but you can find it by going to iBtraveling.com and scroll down to his link on the left that states "planting tips". He doesn't spam you either. I've learned tons from him and hope you do too.

Whenever the last "killing frost" is in your zone/area. Check your local paper. Start them in paper or peat pots inside your shed or house. When they're 2 to 3 inches high---transplant them.
