Planning Your Garden Tips

A little planning goes a long way. I’ve learned this the hard way in years when I have planted my vegetable garden just a little too late. Getting seeds in at the optimum time is one of the most important steps to realizing a great harvest and it’s a lot easier with the help of these online resources:

Seed Planting and Growing

• West Coast Seeds Planting Chart: A simple and wonderful tool. (PDF)
• Veseys Growing Guide: Seed starting indoors and out, answers to common seed-germination problems, and much more.
• West Coast Seeds How to Grow: Organized by the vegetable with invaluable tips for growers.
• Succession Planting Chart: A helpful planner for those of us trying to succession plant; but do remember to adjust to your own region.

If you have any other suggestions for your fellow gardeners (and me!), I would love to hear.
