This is an off topic about when you guys transplant seedlings outside. I'm in zone 7 so anyone in my zone or near me that gardens, please tell me when you guys typically plant your veggies and flowers. Thanks :)

Certainly depends on the plant. You want to check online for your "last frost date". For me (zone 6) it's may 15th. Some seeds are direct sow, some should be started indoors and then transplanted after your frost date. Potatoes are super early ( mid April) pumpkins are pretty late. (Mid June) good luck!

Mathew:  I wait until the weather is not too cold (after your last frost).  I live in So Cal so it's never very cold at all anyway.  But I just ease my little seedlings from inside my house into a small greenhouse I have outside to let them mature.  It's a personal call because your zone and the type of plant does make a difference.  My method is just to slowly introduce them to the outside world.

Hi,
Depends on the plant.
Peas and broad beans can be seeded outside as of 25th of February (here).
Here Icy Saints are on the 10th/11th of May so we're free to plant tomato plants (beans, and all) outside after 12th of May.
Of course, we always challenge ourselves and try to do some on 15th of April ... Just to cry out loud some years .
You would seed the tomato plants in a cold greenhouse by 1st of March, let grow inside the greenhouse, later separate to individual pots... Lots of TLC.
As for fig seedlings, believe me or not but I have a toothpick sized one that is making its life in the garden with just an upside down pot over it ( small 80liters trashcan technique ... LOL ). I took a pic yesterday. I'll post it later ... Sometimes doing nothing is best ...
