Re: Starting Brandywines

If you live in the very southern part of the state you may get by with
starting seed outdoors in a very protected location in late Feb or early
March, according to my printed sources.  Further north (I lived 5 years
near Huntsville when I was in elementary school) you'd better wait until
late April when the soil is warmed up.  In between is, of course, in
between.

Maybe someone from the area can be a little more help???
