Seed Starting & Planting Guide

For several seasons I've been trying to figure out the best way to track what seedlings I can start indoors and when.  I tried making a calendar, but didn't like having to remake it every year.  This year I decided to make a spreadsheet that listed what I could start, transplant or direct seed outdoors by weeks out from the date of the average last frost.  (Check with your local county extension agent for this information.)  I gathered the data I needed from the Weekend Gardener's Grow Guide that I have mentioned several times and plugged it into a spreadsheet.  I now can take this information and cross reference their information with my individual seed packets without having to sit down at my computer.  I think I'm really going to like this!  I will have to test it a couple of seasons to see what I really think, but I feel like it will be general enough to be used every year & still provide all the information I want/need at a glance.  Tell me, do you find this helpful?

  3. I'm Serenity Autumn, currently living in Texas city, USA. I am a widow at the moment with Four kids and i was stuck in a financial situation in May 2019 and i needed to refinance and pay my bills. I tried seeking loans from various loan firms both private and corporate but never with success, and most banks declined my credit. But as God would have it, I was introduced to a woman of God a private loan lender who gave me a loan of 850,000.00 USD and today am a business owner and my kids are doing well at the moment, if you must contact any firm with reference to securing a loan without collateral , no credit check, no co signer with just 2% interest rate and better repayment plans and schedule, please contact Mrs Mr Bejamin Lee On Email 247officedept@gmail.com   And Whats-App +1-989-394-3740. He doesn't know that am doing this but am so happy now and i decided to let people know more about him and also i want God to bless him more.
