Early season gardening
Apr 3rd, 2008 by Julie Kirkwood
I’m off to an early start this year. I planted my shell peas and leaf lettuce last week in garden beds that were already prepared from last year. It was so much fun getting my hands dirty even before the last of the snow flies for the season.
I’ve also printed out a bunch of blank calendars and started planning the rest of the spring. I find these monthly calendars are much easier than a journal for keeping track of what’s blooming, when I plant things and what the weather’s doing.
I get mine here, but there are many free calendar forms online.
This year I’m being optimistic — I actually marked when the peas and lettuce will be ready for harvest if the rabbits don’t get them first.

I use a calendar too for my gardening schedule and I really like it. They work well.
