I did miss the podcasts, I particularly liked this one because it gives beginner gardeners what I think is the most important lesson they can learn, one that I still struggle with, and I don't really know why. Yes, put that down, Dave quote: "It's not so much the how to as the when to"!
I have failed to grow so many things because of that, and even with Dave's wonderful when to plant app., I still plant things at the wrong time. I promise to do better...next year!

No, not frozen, just a single row planted in the garden, got spring fever as usual...they haven't even sprouted yet. But I was a couple of weeks early by Dave's guide. I may get very lucky because I was looking ahead at the weather forecast and it is very favorable.

Well, that will be easy to replant if they never sprout.
