Thanks for posting your experiences. We are planting our first ever garden this year. We are hoping to move this summer and we don't want to put all that effort into a garden just to move when the crops are coming in. So, it's time for a container garden.
I've learned a couple things about gardening already. First, I won't start so soon next year. It would be fine for the tomatoes and peppers, but the beans definately don't need to be started this early. Second thing is that when starting early, I will never again use those little black plastic starter cells. They are a pain to get the transplants out. For now on I'll use the peat pots, or I may be able to find a way to make a reusable seed starting cells. Or maybe I can find a way to recycle newspaper into seed starting pots.
