I’m in the midst of getting my planning done, 8 week starts need to get started next week for last frost at end of May.

This way I’ll know approximately how many seedlings to start and I can keep track of which ones we enjoy. With the layouts, it will allow me to keep track of crop rotations to minimize nutrient depletion. I most likely won’t do a round of cover crops though, I can always just throw some of my other nutrients to top up when needed.

Edit Link to the Libreoffice and Excel doc the file was just saved as excel format, so there is likely formatting issues. If the link reaches its limit send me a msg and I’ll make another.

    Awesome, I like doing preliminary work with paper from my drafting training, but with the Carpal Tunnel it’s easier to just hash it straight on the PC now.

    The 4x8 beds, you giving each pepper/tomato 4 ft? Or is that 4 plants?

      Your “spreadsheet” is definitely awesome.

      The tomatoes and peppers each get a 2x2 ft area per plant which works well with the new plant cages I bought last year for the peppers and Roma tomatoes. This year I need to setup metal poles or something for the indeterminate tomatoes since last year’s attempt failed when we had some intense wind storms.
