We would love to hear for those who have been gardening for a while: When do you start your seeds?

[@nerdygirlfarmer3706]

Are you guys veteran owned by chance?

[@shawncastillo210]

I am in far Northern California (near Reno, Nevada) and I have been gardening for about 5 years. I can start seeds indoors, I have a small greenhouse and a fenced raised bed garden outdoors. We have hot summers & cold winters, usually with snow, although not this year). I am in zone 7a. I love melons & winter squashes but my season is too short to direct sow. Last year I direct sowed and my season ran out before the melons & squash were half grown. I don't want to give up on planting them but everything I read or watch says they don't transplant well. What is my best course of action here?

[@BootstrapFarmer]

Melons and squash can thrive in USDA Hardiness Zone 7a, including the Reno, Nevada area, with proper planning. For melons, varieties like ‘Sugar Baby’ watermelon and ‘Hale’s Best’ cantaloupe are well-suited. ‘Sugar Baby’ produces small, sweet fruits with a shorter growing season, making it ideal for cooler nights in Nevada. ‘Hale’s Best’ is a classic cantaloupe with excellent sweetness and a firm texture, known for its tolerance to dry conditions. For squash, try ‘Early Prolific Straightneck’ yellow squash or ‘Black Beauty’ zucchini. Both are fast-maturing and highly productive, with good resistance to diseases like powdery mildew. When transplanting these crops, start seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost date, using biodegradable pots like cow pots to minimize root disturbance during transplanting. Provide consistent watering, especially during flowering and fruit development, but avoid overhead watering to reduce disease risk. Melons and squash benefit from row covers early on to shield young plants from pests like squash bugs and cucumber beetles and colder nights in the desert. Remove the covers once flowering begins to allow for pollination. You may plan to over plant in case the transplanting does not take so you can cull out weaker transplants. Worth a shot. www.bootstrapfarmer.com/products/cowpots-3-square

Forgot to add the winter squash: Waltham Butternut

Thank you for your reply. I will try the transplants in the cow pots. I have seen them advertised but never tried them. I used peat pots before with minimal success but I am very interested in trying the cow pots!

Sounds like a plan, let us know how it goes🌱
