Excellent list. I am always either too late or too early with my indoor under lights planting. Last year I was so late planting tomatoes that I used tomato seedlings I found growing in the small greenhouse I have where I had throw some old compost! All of the tomato plants turned out to be cherry tomatoes. Will be sure to grow paste and big slicers under the lights this year!
Too late or too early! Did you try my garden calendar? You can make your calendar on-line. Its at the top of my side bar.
And... I'm really excited that I have an update coming out really soon that is really cool. (really) I don't want to say more 'til its ready. Check back!
I have done a ton of "garden blog" reading, and her calendar is one of the best I have found.
I just planted...carrots and lettuce and spinich, but I went right in the ground, because I live in Florida!
Wonderful! Thank you so much!
Kathy - I am looking for a calendar app that will tell me when to expect to HARVEST what I have planted so that when I enter a crop, say easy peasy peas on March 8th that have a 62 day maturity, it will post the appropriate harvest date.
It would be lovely to be able to work backwards as well, so that if you wanted to harvest 'early and often' corn on ht e4th of july, said app would suggest a planting date. I would not expect the app to know the maturity dates of the plant, just to be able to input that info and have the calendar post to the correct date. Do you know of any such app?
Thanks for your attention, Sue
I haven't looked around at apps too much. You could check the one at Mother Earth. It's kindof expensive at about $25, but seems to do a lot of things. Let me know if you find one. AND if you don't let me know. Sounds like something we could put on our to-do list.
Kathy-
I am wondering about spring sowing of lettuce, Chinese greens, broccoli rabe, spinach, beets....
Did I miss these on your calendar?
Yes. They're missing. I got behind this year and forgot to write down a bunch of things I planted. I also planted a bunch of things very late. I wrote "about" for some things I remembered later but didn't know the actual date. I need a better method of recording. Maybe I'll do better this year.
Please don't go by this list for your plantings. Those things are on our app so you can find the right planting time there.
(I never plant rabe because I can't cook it well. So that's why it's not there.)
I found some plant labels for my lettuce plantings and added them to this 2015 list! better later than never? Maybe I'll find more labels as I get ready to plant for this year.
