It feels good to be this organised at the beginning of the seed sowing season. </p> <p>It’s pretty difficult to put seeds into the months they are sown in because most seeds have a period of a few months where they ‘can’ be sown. If you sow them at the beginning of that period then you’ll get an early crop, if you sow them at the end then you’ll get a late crop. What I decided to do is to put the seeds in the month that they can be sown in first. Then if I want to sow them successionally I will move them to the month after once I have sown them. </p> <p>This works fine for most things except seeds that need to be sown more often than every month – example <a title="Lettuce" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/lettuce/">Lettuce</a>, Radish and other quick maturing crops. These I put into a separate compartment for seeds that are sown virtually all summer at fortnightly intervals. And I just dip in and out of that one.</p> <p>It would be brilliant if <a title="growing vegetables" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/growing-vegetables/">growing vegetables</a> were more simple than this, but unfortunately it’s not. What to sow when was the one thing that I struggled with for probably the first two or three years of growing. And still the only way I can feel truly in control is to constantly check sowing times and reorganise my seeds yet again!</p> <p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mytinyplot/~4/qirKAs1VXnU" height="1" width="1"/></p> <div style="display: none">VN:F [1.6.3_896]</div><div class="ratingblock"><div class="ratingblock "><div class="ratingheader ">Rate this Article</div><div class="ratingstars "><div id="article_rater_26685" class="ratepost gdsr-soft gdsr-size-24"><div class="starsbar gdsr-size-24"><div class="gdouter gdheight"><div id="gdr_vote_a26685" style="width: 0px;" class="gdinner gdheight"></div><div id="gdr_stars_a26685" class="gdsr_rating_as"><a id="gdsrX26685X5X0XaXarticle_rater_26685Xarticle_loader_26685X10X24" title="5 / 5" class="s5" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX26685X4X0XaXarticle_rater_26685Xarticle_loader_26685X10X24" title="4 / 5" class="s4" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX26685X3X0XaXarticle_rater_26685Xarticle_loader_26685X10X24" title="3 / 5" class="s3" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX26685X2X0XaXarticle_rater_26685Xarticle_loader_26685X10X24" title="2 / 5" class="s2" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX26685X1X0XaXarticle_rater_26685Xarticle_loader_26685X10X24" title="1 / 5" class="s1" rel="nofollow"></a></div></div></div></div><div id="article_loader_26685" style="display: none; width: 120px; " class="ratingloader article"><div class="loader flower " style="height: 24px"><div class="loaderinner" style="padding-top: 2px">please wait...</div></div></div></div><div class="ratingtext "><div id="gdr_text_a26685">Rating: 0.0/<strong>5</strong> (0 votes cast)</div></div></div></div>
