I just constructed a rudimentary planting schedule! It's color coded to visually help me focus on specific plants each month. The green is for sowing seed directly into soil, and purple regards transplanting. The time frame is from February-June... Subject to change depending on which seeds I end up getting. Just going through the motions! Gotta keep up the energy. Still need to develop a weekly schedule but I feel like that will fall into place after I purchase seeds. I googled "Planting calendar Seattle" and found some resources. Those are listed here:
Small Wonder Farm
Seattle Times Home & Garden
Oregon Tilth
Almanac - I like this one because it includes "Moon Favorable" dates & I think I will purchase the book
I see there are many plants not accounted for in these online template plant calendars, leaving room for intuition. Also I just found out there is a Horticulture Best Gardening Blogs 2011 book. The kind of people that are in that book have been gardening over 20 years.
