Planting Calculator

Johnny's Select Seeds in Maine has added me to their mailing list and today's email came with a little link at the bottom.  This web site will allow you to enter the last frost date in your area and the web site will calculate when you should plant seeds outside, whether they need to be started indoors, and how many weeks ahead of time.

Master Gardners estimated the frost date as May15th, but in reality, we've had 50-70 degree weather since the last week of April. 

My second set of peas are growing much stronger than my first set.  I have two one-pea-pods hanging off the first set still struggling to stand up.  This weekend, I'm replacing them with the last of the newer pea plants sitting in my windowsill.  May the sacrifice of the few be the fortune of my taste buds come summer!
