YEAR PLANNER
« on: April 13, 2004, 15:20:14 »
Anyone know of a good site to download a usefull year-planner for the kitchen garden / allotment, dont just want dates but a nice format with space to write in as well as planting times and harvest times.

What a great tool that would be etc

I made one up in Excel. So much easier and you can customise it for your own use.

I've got one for the kitchen garden and one for the flowers.

hortizontally across the top are the months of the year.

Vertically are the names of all the different plants I grow.

I then fill in what you need to do with that plant each month (with early, mid, late as necessary).

Thank you, I havent done any proper planning yet, I just have a very rough idea of what I want for the garden.  ;D
I will have to start planning now ! ;D

Please don't be offended by my nickname 'Mortality'
As to its history it was the name of a character I played in an online game called 'Everquest'
The character 'Mortality Rate' was a female Dark Elf Necromancer, the name seemed apt at the time and has been used alot by me over the years.

I've done a little rough planning, but I keep it all in my head, and do things on a very ad hoc basis. Alliums are on one side of the plot one year, the other the next. The weediest bits are kept back for tender veg to give me a chance to get the weeds out. The rest just has to fit in.

If I am not mistaken you can save such files on google documents.  Then ask the person who needs it to sign up to google documents then you can give selected people permission to open it

Whilst most online planners are very helpful, they tend not to cover the varieties I have and most would leave ne to beleive there is nothing to sow under glass in January.

For xmas I received a seed storage box with handy little monthly dividers.  I have plenty of vegetable varieties sitting in my January section such as cauliflower (All year round), Leek (carentan), red cabbage and Kelsea onion. 

My planning will consist of my storage tin and my masterplan (see: http://myplot38.blogspot.com/)

Storage by month is a good idea, Dandytown - so easy to forget stuff, especially when it gets to the busy times.

I find pre-made guides to planting in books or on websites aren't always right, cos you need to make some allowances to things like where in the house the seed pots will go etc... and when you know your last frosts are. Or space out the timings, because you don't have time to do it all at once.

I have just emailed 2 documents to you.  Should be what you need,  just alter varieties to your own.
