I wrote my list with sowing times on paper, but yours looks clearer and it's handy to have it on the blog. I think I will try this out, so thanks for the great idea.<BR/>MaureenMaureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15540591998909116816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-79832739082623271942009-01-13T17:24:00.000-05:002009-01-13T17:24:00.000-05:00Have you thought of setting up a plastic tent with...Have you thought of setting up a plastic tent with the ends clipped open so all he'd have to do is watch the weather report and secure the ends down if a frost is imminent? Sometimes, you can put tomatoes out in our garden that early but it is, as you say, usually pushing it. May 14th is generally the earliest that I can get them in the ground.Ottawa Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14486499450332482461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-75690951524553765512009-01-09T20:55:00.000-05:002009-01-09T20:55:00.000-05:00Well it isn't that hard in a spreadsheet.

I tell it when my last frost is and how many weeks before or after the last frost date it gets planted and how many weeks old it should be at transplant time. It figures out the date the seeds get started and the date the transplants go out. When I don't like how the plants overlap (like my onions and the rest of the plants) I push the weeks forward or back. <BR/><BR/>A spreadsheet makes it really easy to play with that way. Also I can quickly look to make sure I never have more than 16 six packs which is the maximum I can grow with my set up. I really find it is better to plan if you grow most of your plants from seed. When I didn't grow my own transplants, I never really planned except in my head.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-49705289966674968922009-01-09T20:05:00.000-05:002009-01-09T20:05:00.000-05:00You do have a fab MIL.

I was just looking at the seeds that I ordered for this year and thought "what was I thinking?". It'll happen, but it won't be in any organized fashion. Thank goodness I have a pretty forgiving climate.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-61247861647125620682009-01-09T14:43:00.000-05:002009-01-09T14:43:00.000-05:00Wow.
