Buy a mat,temp gauge and light.
In all it $70 but well worth it.

I have toms,zucc,corn,squash,peppers,sunflowers they all are popping up.

Hmm... Zucchini, corn, squash and sunflowers can be problematic when started too early inside and when transplanting. All in all, I find it's easier to sow the seeds directly in the ground.

Sunflowers can be planted pretty early -- around same time as corn. Zucchini and summer squash need warmer soil temps but they grow fast, and winter squash/pumpkin you really need to time it right and not rush things or you can end up with pumpkin harvest in August.

I have extra seeds. Most were 10 cents a pack or cheap like that.
If they fail ill just do it right in the ground. Thanks for the tip
Wow I'm going to need to find a timeline for my zone.

Looks like you are zone 7B. Here's some guidelines:

If corn and pumpkins are not good transplants.
You can buy them started tho?

[GardenGnome]

I had 7b listed before but some other site said 9a idk

Why would it say not to grow peas or Cantaloupe ? The weather won't hold out for them?
I've grown both before and got some stuff off each. And my timing for planting is pretty close. Thanks for the link btw.

[rainbowgardener]

You're not reading it right. It says peas and cantaloupe are not recommended for FALL planting. It gives dates for spring planting. The first columns are:

Crop / Days to Maturity/ Spring Planting Dates/ Fall Planting Dates


But it does say it's is already very late for you to be planting peas... the problem is they don't do well once the weather warms up. I just planted peas and the way this season is going, it may have been too late for me also....

Where I got the 7B was from the National Gardening Association zone finder by zip code:

Opps
I do have 4 plants in the ground there about 8 inches or so long.
It was late when I read that.

[GardenGnome]

Bean, bush 50-60 days
Apr. 1 -May 1

So does that mean it you would plant apr. 1 then harvest in may. 1
Or is the span you can start them.

GG,

Read the column titles. Those are Spring planting dates. Plant between Apr. 1 and May 1.

That looks awesome and I'm Zone 10a and I'm in california too so I'm sure you are Ok, and Seems like well worth every penny once they start growing pretty good, Its always fun Trying things that may not work because if you do it right you can do things you probably cant. =] I Overwinter a tomato plant outside my house all thru winter and now its ripening tomatoes
