Starting Brandywines


I bought some Brandywine seeds to use as one of my early tomatoes.  I live
in Alabama, and thought that since they are adapted to Northern climates
that they would make a good early Spring tomato.  What I'd like to know is
how early can I start them and can they be started outside?  Yes, I'm
getting gardening withdrawal, and I'm more than a little anxious to get
something growing.

The reason I want to know about starting them outside is that I find myself
in the not so wonderful situation of not having anywhere to start seeds
this year.  My husband went fish crazy and bought a new 20 gal. tank to go
with his ten gal, and the only place he had to put it was right where I
start my seeds. *grrrrr*  So, all of my seeds will either be direct seeded
or started outside a good deal later than I usually start them.  Don't ask
me why I let him take my seed starting space.  He bought the tank when I
was in the middle of midterms and just wanted to get out of the pet store.
I probably would have let him buy a whole heard of scorpions if he'd wanted!
