Notes

Didn't have a ton of luck with these last year, but oddly enough some seeds from last year are suddenly popping up in the main bed.

So, I've begun the wintersowing experiment by putting them in a milk jug, and they'll sit in there until they've grown a bit (and the bed gets its spring tilling).

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.
