May have started a wee bit early.

But I’m not too concerned about it. Zone 9a/b, southern US, and I started these on December 22. Some popped early, and are growing very well. While others are just sprouting. Again, not too concerned about it. Starting Black Krim; Black from Tula; Carbon; Brown Sugar; Blue Berries; Indigo Apple; Midnight Snack; Super Sauce; Raspberry Burst; and Norfolk Purple ( Althea ). Hope to have them hardening off in the pop-up greenhouse at the end of February, and planted in the first week of March. This is my first garden in several years ( life ), and I’m super excited.
