Toni If you have a 90 day growing season here's a tip from the granite pile with about an 80 growing season Select varieties with a 60 to 70 days to maturity, Most of the Northern seed suppliers carry them Like Stokes, Harris, Johnny's, Vesey's etc. Start seedlings 12 weeks before plant out, grow in a 3.5 to 4" dia pot. At about 8 weeks transplant into 1 gal pots. This will give you the equivalent of an extra few weeks in the field. Do not use High N fertilizers. If you can, a high tunnel hoop house for the first 4 weeks and last 4 weeks will increase yeilds Helps with tomatoes and eggplant also. L.B. When the season is shorter than Anchorage Alaska Welcome back Rain
