Hi everyone. For those of you in Zone 7. I wanted to give a quick list of what to start indoors, what seeds can go in the ground today, and plants you can start outdoors now. I will do a second post of plants that can go in the ground after frost risk passes.

Start Indoors Now

• Tomatoes

You may be able to find starts at a few local garden centers before they too are at risk of closing down. If so, the following are options for planting from plant starts now:

• Swiss Chard
