An example of how i make my garden calendar. Here are shown only some plants. The real calendar contains many more. I made this calendar in a Microsoft program for designing websites (Frontpage). I think you can also make it in Word or any other program that allows you to make tables. I make changes over time or add new information as i continue to learn about the vegetables. The data shown here are for a temperate climate in the northern hemisphere.
