When do we start planting vegetables?

When do people start planting flowers and vegetables this spring?

Planting dates depend on the vegetables themselves, and whether or not you are planting seeds or seedlings. For example, I will be starting my tomato seeds indoors under grow lights next week, but I will not be planting them in my garden until late May.

Here is a link to the U of MN Extension Service with info on when to plant veges in MN:

I don't know much about flowers, but I would guess that like veges, some of them are more cold-hardy than others.

I have heard that seed-selling companies are experiencing a boom this year, with more people interesting in growing their own food. This is good news!
