2010 CROPS
This a list of all crops for 2010. I am listing them in groups by type. (tomatoes, spinach, kale, etc.) and each variety will be followed by its "days to maturity", if known, (ie 70d) and its planting date(s). If the planting date is in a parenthesis then it was planted inside. I'll add to the list from time to time, as I plant. Depending on who you are, this could be riveting or incredibly boring. This is the kind of thing I love.
(Includes what has been planted through May 6; lots more to follow!)
