Looking for a list of Flower seed sowing times?

7 years ago

Was looking through dates to sow seeds and realized that I'm behind on several. So I started working on a list to get on track.

Vegetable seed dates are easy to find many places, but not so much for flowers! So thought I'd share the list. It is easy to apply in.many temperate zones because it is listed by weeks before last likely frost and season. Soon I'll also add a critical yard duty list, such as pruning

Once a week I have an automatic calendar alarm set on Friday to tell me what I might consider doing.

INDOOR SEED SOWING & GARDEN TASKS

--ver. 0.5 rough initial draft--

Unless otherwise noted are listed as indoor sowing time, using heat mats, and bright light. Can move tasks ahead or behind a week or otherwise reorganize as needed, adjusting fo local zone and methods used.

If miss a week, do task the next week!
