Thanks for that idea, Larry!

It would work especially well for me, because as I procrastinated past each date, I could stack the dated envelopes inside each other ...

Do we have a garden procrastinator microbadge?

Right now I have a pile of seed packs, wondering how I'm ever going to remember when I want to plant them!
Now I know, I'll use this tip!!! nodding

I have a spreadsheet with dates to plant, expected germination, special instructions. Your idea is much more visual and can have all of that information. I also include prior year results in the SS to avoid prior year mistakes. Things don't always germinate or grow where you garden compared with the envelope

Yes, I see that Rick has his procrastinator badge; it's the hourglass running out of time. Love it!!! Thumbs up

Think I should have one, I'm a General Procrastinator! Hilarious!
