First time planting a vegetable garden in MN-Need info on starting seeds indoors.?
I've bought everything I need (I think) but, I have no idea when to start the seeds! Anyone out there know when/how to start the seeds indoors? I have a jiffy pot greenhouse I plan to use.
These are the Veggies I intend to grow & have seeds (all burpee)
Sweet Corn-Chubby Checker Hybrid
Sweet Corn-Early & Often
Green Beans-Stringless Green Pod
Tomatoes-Big Boy Hybrid
Summer Squash (zucchini)-Bounty Hybrid
I would also like to do some onions and potatoes but have not purchased seeds as of yet.
I would like to start them in the greenhouse and transplant them when they're ready and the ground is ready.
I just don't know how early is too early to start indoors.
I live 1/2 hour north of St. Paul, MN and here is what I do.... The corn and beans you plant directly in the garden. I plant these on June 1st. Any sooner and you are wasting your time, as it is too cold! The tomatoes are best started mid April. Start these in the house, in the sunniest window that you have. I start squash seeds on May 1st. I have a hothouse outside that I use. May 1st is still pretty cold, so I have to use a space heater at night to keep it warm. You can start yours indoors, but it is hard to give them enough light. Use grow lights if you can. If you can't use grow lights, put your plants outside during the day if it is warm and sunny then bring in at night. Otherwise they get very leggy. I plant the squash and tomatoe plants in the garden June 1st. Some people just direct seed squash in the garden, but I like to get a headstart here. I also start cukes, pumpkins, and melons in pots May 1st. Onions and potatoes, I plant June 1st also. You can plant potatoes earlier, but again, it is often cold here in May and I have had to replant because they have rotted in the cold ground. Waiting until June 1st still gives them plenty of time. Try Walla Walla sweet onions, they are awesome(get them at Home Depot)!! Where you live in Minnesota will affect your dates....I know in Duluth, you have to wait even longer to plant, but in southern Minnesota, you can plant much earlier. But knowing I am in the middle should help you figure out dates best for you....several weeks ahead or behind!!
