I keep them on 24 when I start seeds. Then put them on a timer when it warms up. I'd sow seeds at this time, soil should be warm enough.
He pulled his plants at the first frost and put them in a green house. Some made it through the winter, They are huge and have fruit all over them. He has 50-60 volunteer tomato plants in there, I took ten of them.

Got the beds planted Saturday. 1 jalapeño, 2 bell pepper, 1 sweet red pepper and 2 strawberries just for kicks.  4 better boy tomatoes. The stuff in the near corner is some kind of garlic chive? They were in the box when I got them.

Anybody do fruit trees with any success? Was thinking about a peach and apple tree. I've read you have to do them in pairs for cross pollination though.
The wife was eyeballing an orange tree but how do those survive winters? You have to pull them in doors. I've never had one survive by wrapping it. I probably did it wrong though

I have 4 store bought onions in my kitchen. Looks as if they will last;  I'm not buying anymore tomatoes until these suckers get ripe;  The potatoes are about golf ball size. Home fries with green onions are next for me.

Thought I would throw some pictures of my little project up for any comments/suggestions.   I've got red and white onions, couple tomatoes, bell peppers, a jalepeno, broccoli, a head of lettuce, and squash. And cucumbers under the trellises.

I put Epsom salts under all my plants this morning. I don't know if it will help, but it's cheap, and can't hurt.

I sprinkle it in around my tomatoes and IMO it makes a big difference.
Payne - What's the best way to lower PH? sulfur, pine needles. I'm putting blueberries in containers. Thanks

Adv I wish I knew. I tried the blueberries in the container thing a couple years ago. I used spaghnum peat, soil and an acidic soil additive. They lasted about a month then died. I might buy some acidic soil and try again but haven't done it yet. I've read ammonium sulfate for a quick fix and coffee grounds & pine needles for slow release. It's in my plan just haven't done anything yet. Let me know if you get some to produce. Here's what I tried to do.
