I am starting my seeds on Wednesday and will transplant them outdoors 
into my large raised beds circa March 5.  With a row cover, I can do 
that.  Fall works better for me, but usually I am busy canning in July 
and not planting seed, so it is hard for me to remember.

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will 
not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius 
will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the 
world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone 
are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve 
the problems of the human race"
