[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks for all your suggestions.  I tried to sprout seedlings a few years ago, but I think I did something wrong at some point and we also had an unusually cold season during that year, my sprouted seedlings did not survive after having unexpected cold dips.  I tried buying plants after that but I did not invest time to take care of it.  Things are different this time and would like to really take it seriously but definitely want to do it from seedlings.  I guess I'll plan it for next year.  What is a good temperature to get the sprouted seedlings to an outside garden bed?  [/quote]

I usually aim to plant Mother's Day weekend. Some hardier things went in earlier -- beets and kale. Tomatoes, squash, cukes, Mother's Day.

From March - May, if you're having a nice day, take the time to dig up your soil so it gets nice and soft and aerated. If you're interested, you can usually find a local garden center to analyze your soil to see if it's lacking any nutrients. They can also suggest a soil booster that's good for your area. (For example, I use one called Bumper Crop. I dump it in and mix it around a week or so before I plant the garden.)

Definitely try to start a relationship with a local garden store and follow the recommendations for your area.
