What Others Are Saying

This is a God-send! I have been struggling to absorb what to do, when to do it and what to expect – etc. It makes it much easier to get my mind around it and get to planning.

– Cheri

Thank you for these excellent charts. They will make planning my garden so much easier this year.

– SuZan

This is amazing! Thank you!! Great resource!! I am going to include the cost of the veggies I am currently buying that I could have grown, so I know what I might be able to save, or at very least, what I DID save by growing just a little bit more! 

– Melissa B.
