28 | Cool Climate/Very Early < 60 days | Early 55 - 68 days | Mid 69 - 80 days | Late >80 days | ||||||||
29 | What determines their "season" is their days to maturity, their DTM. DTM is counted from the day they are transplanted to the garden where they will grow, not the day the seed is planted. Starting them early or first won't make them into mid-season plants.But yes you can back them up a little closer to mid-season by planting them out early under protection. How much it will make them come earlier all depends on the garden environment you can provide. So for example if it is a 90 day DTM variety and you pre-warm the soil well, transplant it into the warm soil under really good cover and the weather cooperates you might get fruit from it a week or so earlier than you would normally. It will still take the 90 days (DTM is approx.) but it will be 90 days from the early plant out in April rather than 90 days from May. The risk is the weather may not cooperate and the plant will die or just sit there until its normal planting time before it takes off. | |||||||||||
