I bought about 14 seed at Western Wasington fair this fall and saved them in a plastic bag. I want to plant them but am not sure on when to start my seeds inside, and when to transfer them out side. Any advise would be great.

Depending on the size of the container you start them in....approx. 7 to 10 days prior to planting out doors. No idea about your climate, but cold is not good for new little plants. A small (and cheap and easy to build) might be necessary. I plant outside as soon as I see a first true leaf...I plant in 1 gal containers...I start 1 plant early (late March), but that plant is for a mid Aug weighoff. Lots of diff opinions, but somewhere around 130-150 days from transplant to harvest. Hope this helps...and hope some with better success than I will pitch in with ideas. Peace, Wayne

Sorry, (cheap and easy to build enclosure). Should proof read better. Peace, Wayne

Time your germination just before your last predicted frost to be safe. In my experience, 7-10 days from when the seedling emerges I transplant. It might take a few days to germinate the seed first.
