We have moved all the starts to the cold frame outside with this lovely warm weather we have been having. They seem to be happy, but perhaps even too hot. Stefano took down the plastic to help cool it down in the day. He also leaned some 2 by 4s on the frame to provide some shade.
The outdoor Cottonwood Market begins May 1, then the Nelson Garden Festival and Castlegaar Garden Festival on May 15. It's going to be busy! I am figuring out the pricing for each start. I think it will range from $3-$5 per plant, depending on the size. There are some tomatoes that are already 8 inches tall!
