Should I start planting veggies indoors?

I live in Minnesota. I would like to have a small veggie garden this summer, including tomatoes, green peppers, green beans and sweet peas. When should I start these indoors (it usually doesn't get very warm until mid-May)?

If growing them from seeds, the time is now.
Reply:start planting your seeds about 6 weeks before your last freeze. keep them under a plant light so they don't get too leggy.(spindley) once the freezes are over take them outside every day to "harden them and bring them in at night. do this for a couple of weeks and then plant them in full sun. good luck and have a great garden.

but in may put them outside the sunny light and rain will do then good
Reply:Well you could still be able to go to most Home Garden shops get some plastic container's. Then get small table light


that has only a 25-Watt Light bulb. Then shade some so then you will filtered sun-Lite. Then this will help the growing and germination process. of the seeds to start.. Then when they get approximately 3" to 4" tall transplant into larger containers.


Then use some Mirculegrow Plant food and soils that helps grow better. The Tomatoes may need some plant stakes if they take off and grow fast. So, Good Luck:

Reply:You should start your peppers immediately -March 1 was actually the best date. You can start your tomatos now too. Most other plants you can sow directly.
