Notes

Planted high-protein stone age wheat from Bountiful Gardens to naturalize as goat and chicken fodder. Turns out it is very palatable to goats and did not survive being grazed. Probably will not plant again.

Experimental: this feature is new and might be flaky. These dates are estimates from 25 km weather-model data, not readings from a station at your garden, so a cold spot can be colder. They may be wrong, so check your national weather service and ask local growers before relying on them.
