Isn't it a bit soon to have your whole year planted?

I dont think so. Last year I was late, started in June and got instant germination and then got no fruits from soil seeded plants. Tomatoes did well along with peppers and eggplants as these were seeded late Feb/early march.

Weather this year in So Cal has been more on the warm side. If the seeds germinate, they will thrive by the time March/Apr rolls in.

Stuff- the one thing I love about LA is the gardening season!
I've often gone to my in-law's place and gotten a sunburn in December!
This year is crazy warm in CA, even in No CA! We've had a lot of frost, but very warm days! So CA is almost tropical! Nancy

Its 6 days and tomatoes are sprouting already. I plan on putting it out in sun soon

It just seems weird to me. I'm only starting Broccoli, Cauliflower, Peppers, Broccoli, etc. in 2 weeks, and Tomatoes in about 5 weeks.

Well you'll learn some valuable lessons from this approach about what NOT to do next year.

No matter the location, there are valid reasons for why everything in a garden is not, and should not, be planted at the same time. And why all seeds are not started at the same time.

Good luck.

I very well know that some seeds may not sprout at all, specially Gourds and Bitter Melon as they have very hard shell. At the same time, all these veggies that I planted are suppose to be planted around spring time anyway so it doesnt hurt to try. Weather here in So Cal right now is what it normally is in late March.

Will see how much success I get. I understand that soil is cold and some of these seeds take a while to grow anyway. I recently sowed more peas (two weeks ago) and they are already 6 inches tall so go figure.
