Plant Questions: Starting seeds for vegetable gardens

WE COULD
SEE A FEW SNOW FLURRIES FROM THE
NORTH.
SARAH: TIME NOW TO ANSWER SOME
OF YOUR PLANT QUESTIONS.
JOINING ME THIS AFTERNOON IS
SCOTT CARBONE FROM VALLEY VIEW
FARMS.
NICE TO SEE YOU.
WHAT DID YOU BRING?
>> THIS IS A BULB YOU PUT IN
YOUR HOUSE AND ITS BRIGHT AND
YOU CAN KEEP IT DRY MOST OF THE
TIME AND WHEN IT FLOWERS, KEEP
IT MOIST.
YOU CAN PUT IT OTSIDE BUT KEEP
IT OUT OF DIRECT LIGHT.
SARAH: VERY PRETTY.
IT'S BEEN SO NICE.
>> EVERYONE IS ITCHING TO GET
OUTSIDE.
SARAH: THAT BRINGS ME TO THE
FIRST QUESTION -- WHEN SHOULD I
START SEEDS FOR MY VEGETABLE
GARDEN?
>> TOMATOES AND PEPPERS YOU WANT
TO START EIGHT WEEKS OUT.
MAYBE AROUND MOTHER'S DAY.
I WOULD START THEM ABOUT
MID-MARCH.
IF YOU ARE IN OH WARMER CLIMATE,
YOU CAN START THEM BY EARLY
MARCH.
SARAH: GOOD TO KNOW WHAT IS THE
, DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A 'GROW
LIGHT' AND A FLUORESCENT LIGHT?
I WOULD EMAIL THE QUESTION TO
BRIAN AT VALLEY VIEW FARMS., OR
CARRY.
SARAH: IS IT SAFE TO BRING MY
PLANTS OUTSIDE THAT I BROUGHT
INDOORS FOR THE WINTER?
>> I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING
THAT IS SAFE YET.
IT'S A CONSTANT TEMPERATURE AT
NIGHT SO IT SHOULD NOT GET BELOW
50 DEGREES.
SARAH: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS YOU
ARE GETTING RIGHT NOW?
>> BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER,
PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW WHAT TO DO
IN THE GARDENS.
WE TELL THEM TO REMOVE THE
LEAVES AND SOME BUDS ARE
STARTING TO COME OUT.
YOU CAN SEE WAS DEAD OR REMOVE
THE OLD FLOWERS.
JUST CUT THINGS BACK AND CLEAN.
