Getting
Ready For Spring
Deep
in midwinter this gardener is toasting her toes by the fireside,
browsing through seed catalogs, contemplating spreadsheets, planting
plans and taking a class on “Designing Elegant, Edible Gardens”
while my broken shoulder and kneecap continue to heal.
If
years past I have sketched our potential garden spots, made little
maps of where I hope to put plants and plant seeds but it has never
been particularly serious or official. This year I hope to get
“organized”, make and follow a plan of seed starting,
permaculture, and rotation of food crops.
I
have come across some good tools and will share them with you here.
A
very useful, easy to read, printable chart to help you get things
going.
First
and last frost dates are very important. To go to your country of
choice, try inserting the name in the above address ie:

Excellent
record keeping and great, informative writing.
A
good video series on seed starting.
Make
your garden plan.
The
amount of information available can be overwhelming, but I think
these will help you plan and grow a successful food garden matter
where you live. Keep cozy and enjoy making your practical plan.
