The Garden of Earthly Delights
Seeds we possess as of 19 Feb 2000
note: this is meant as a general guide, use seed packet directions for specific guidelines. note also that earliest date is indeed just that, we have usually 15-30 days after that date to put the crop in the soil. some crops, such as peppers, tomatoes, cauliflower, broccoli, etc, must be started indoors several weeks before planting.
