Sue–I’m not sure which link you are referring to–have you determined your spring frost date? If not, give me a more precise location and I can find it for you.

Your frost date is April 30, so you are right on the edge between the Yellow Group and the Green Group. If you are having a warm spring, I would follow the Yellow Group. If it’s a later winter and a cold spring, follow the Green.

Hi,
I was looking on your site to determine the color wheel planting schedule and found the link to the color wheel is not working.
I live in Western Washington and would like a schedule to go by.

Emily,
Thanks for the Companion Planting guide! It has been extraordinarily helpful in planning my garden. This is a fantastic excel sheet. You should get this patented.

Hi Emily,

I just found your website and I am amazed at all the information you have provided. You really got me excited to be growing a garden again.

I was just wondering if you could provide specifics about your vinyl boxes. I’ve looked at the vinly fencing at the Home Depot website and I can’t find a post that would allow 2 cross planks right next to each other.

Can you give me any more information about how you built your boxes?

Thanks again!

LeeAnn

Thank YOU!!

Emily, I can’t help but wonder if maybe Martha is planting the same crops in the same spot every year instead of rotating them. Tomato plants and the cabbage family plants are very susceptible to disease when not rotated. Just a thought.

You mentioned fertilizer and being careful with the nitrogen, what do you use for root crops, I know that you should not use but a little nitrogen with them because you will have beautiful tops and very little roots.
