Hey, what a great idea. I have gardener for almost 40 years and still am on a quest to make the perfect seed-planning/planting chart. Thank you so much for creating this little planner.

I had to laugh, though, at the ‘calculate your frost-free dates’ on the Victor Seed site. I live in the high desert of central Oregon, and technically, we can experience frost any day of the year. Although in practice we don’t.

Using the information on the site, I find that the last ‘spring’ frost here is July 28, and the first ‘fall’ frost is Aug 5, yielding a magnificent frost-free growing season of …………. ta da ….. 7 days. Yeehaw.

In reality the Extension Service gives us 90 and in my localized banana belt, I count on 120. And I keep row cover and old sheets handy for those pesky mid-June frosts.

Thanks again!

BTW I am enjoying looking over your blog. Looking forward to reading about your chickens.

I came from Tessa’s blog (Blunders with shoots, blossoms n’ roots) after reading her post that mentioned this planner. What a great idea. I’m always getting out the calender and counting backwards trying to figure out dates.
