I am in Western Mass and I see you are in Western NY. Just wondering when your last frost date is...

I begin starting seeds on March 1 for a May 31 frost date. I start about 1200 - 1500 seedlings in my kitchen and living room each year, as I don't have a greenhouse, yet....

I saw you'd been growing for 45 years! I started my first veg garden in 1992 but had done flowers for about 10 years before that.
