When...



Knowing when to plant each crop will play an essential role in the ultimate yield. I plan on creating a calendar on a spreadsheet and placing each crop on the calendar according to the recommended season of planting. I am also going to experiment with planting some crops, such as green beans, in intervals so I can extend the harvest period.

To learn more about when to plant, I am going to start with the book The Kitchen Gardener by Sylvia Thompson. My oldest sister, who is an avid gardener herself, sent me this book along with her seed collection when she moved from the country into an urban setting.
