Planting seeds...

 We are planting a variety of seeds this spring we always mark our calendar as to what we have planted and when.  I recommend that you keep your calendars from year to year, at least a five year rotation of calendars. You can then start to see patterns in the weather and  and improve or adjust just when you plant your seeds and seedlings.

We also update our calendar when we harvest or transplant seedlings as it helps us plan the next year planting cycle. For example if I know that my cauliflower is going to take all summer to mature I could plant, perhaps, some radishes in that area before the cauliflower blocks the sun. When  you have a small space you want to take advantage of some slow growing crops.
