Dear Friend or Friend to be,
So how was everyone's week? Did you all survive the deluge of rain in the middle of the week? All my pots and pails and wagon were totally full of water, made me wish I had some rain barrels! Anyway I hope by the end of this weekend I get some serious planting done in my garden. Anyone else have their gardens started yet? Here is last weeks video of my yard:

Because the gardening calendar is based on the phase and position of the Moon, it is consistent across all growing zones. Recommended dates are still "weather permitting," and you should talk with your local greenhouse or agricultural extension office for the optimal window of time within which to use these dates.
