I came across this seed starting chart today and thought some of you might be interested.

Thanks, Leslie. That's very convenient for when-to-start-things. I mostly scavenge that from seed packets and seed catalog advice. I'm going to check my notes against their table, and update my notes. I respect Rodale.
Here are three other sources that I refer to for stratification and other germination advice:
(1)
Simplest, originally from Thompson & Morgan:
(Page down past the very good explanatory text to find the table.)

or

(2)
Tom Clothier is more detailed, with separate tables for:
- Penstemon,
- tree & shrub,
- perennial and
- annual & biennial germination
(plus info on soil temperature and soil mixes):

Dr. Deno is very technical, in three volumes, but you can download the PDFs for free (thanks, Doc!)
