I used to start my tomatoes in late January or early February. Then I met someone who told me they started their tomatoes the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day. Ever since, I have been starting my tomatoes the first week of January for nice, good sized plants to transplant come March. 
And, this is just the beginning.
Growing Up in the Garden 
Great tip!
If you live in Southern California or a similar climate and you have some form of a greenhouse, January is the perfect time to start tomatoes. I will start peppers and eggplant in late february or early march.
I’ve never thought to start mine so early. What a great idea.
That’s a lovely photo of the seed packets line up along your fence. Artfully done.
I have the same greenhouse as you do, though my cover is clear and not reinforced. You’ve got me thinking now.
Thank you. I like the little greenhouse, although the metal poles are rusting. That is disappointing. I have to go out there and peek. It has been a few days since I have checked on them. I should have sprouts any day now.
We’re just getting into thinking about what we’ll plant this year, but we’re a good few weeks of starting anything at all indoors given our climate. Good luck with your tomatoes, I’m envious in a good way!
