First of January

I have put together a container garden in my basement. It comprises tomatoes and peppers initially with two kinds of eggplants to follow. One of those peppers and a tomato will eventually become Kootenai County Fair submissions. Why plant so soon? I want to have produce for sale at the beginning of the new market this year. It need not be until February before I start planting the plants I want for sale. Tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, flowers among other goodies. By April, I should expect to set up containers and put them under a cold frame for lettuce and other greens. It doesn't take long for them to grow. I plan on a new and productive garden this year that I can take down to the market.
