I was wondering when you guys start your seeds indoors? I grew plants last year for tomato/squash/peppers/cukes. But my plants were small by planting time. They ended up producing but later on in the growing year all plants did survive.
Starting seeds indoors I went by the farmers almanac calendar for my zip on their website.

I don't like to take any chance with cold weather, so I usually don't plant till sometimes in early May. As for squash and cukes, I direct sow into the ground. Tomatoes, I will start indoors about six weeks before planting. This includes hardening them off. Peppers should probably start a couple weeks before the tomatoes. However, I've started them the same time as the tomatoes, and they've done fine. They will just be a little time behind to the harvest.
