This is a journal of my vegetable gardens. Skippy was my first dog and he thought the garden was his, even though I did all the work. Now Suzie and Charley follow in his footsteps. We're located near Boston (USDA zone 6A). I have a community plot, a backyard vegetable garden, fruit trees, berry bushes, chickens, and bees. I use sustainable organic methods and do my best to grow all of my family's vegetables myself.
peas planted!

my 2012 planting calendar
I've been thinking its nearly time to start my onion seeds. So today I made my 2012 planting calendar using an on line program I wrote several years ago. (Here's the link. Its on my side bar too.)
The onions need to be in by Valentine's Day! I will start getting my trays ready.
Hi Kathy-- i'm getting my plan of attack ready too. I plan on using your calculator this year. Either I'm missing it, or your calendar doesn't have a note for when to sow the onion seedlings outside. I've read "as soon as the soil can be worked". Where would that fall on your calendar? With the cool weather lettuce and broccoli? Thanks for the calendar and the wonderful blog!
ReplyDeleteVery cool -- I meticulously planned when to do things in my garden too. And at the risk of my husband calling me a 'super nerd' -- I've written some computer code to help me keep track of things, too!
ReplyDeleteGreat job staying organized!
Thanks for sharing the program you wrote. It is too cool.
ReplyDeleteOnions - that's the very first thing you plant - first date first crop.
ReplyDeleteGo Super Nerds! (I can't really write code - this was an anomaly...)
Kathy,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this cool tool. I don't have much room for starting seeds indoors, but this will be useful for starting them outdoors and transplant dates for veggie packs I buy.
