Today’s feature is from ReadyMade Blog with instructions for seed starting calendar

The challenge is knowing when to start seeds.

Dates you need to know (the reference desk at the library, the county agriculture agents can help you find this out; Googling last frost for my micro-climate was not successful, but California is odd that way.):

  • the first frost date in your location - This date will tell you, in effect, when your gardening season is over.
  • the last frost date in your location - this is the starting point, really, from which your garden begins.
  • the frost free date - this is when it is absolutely safe to plant your seedlings out in the garden.

Depending on where you live, organizing seeds and getting ready for planting and documenting frost dates are so not on your mind right now, but it’s never too late to start planning for next year ;).
