Within a couple weeks, people are going to start thinking about starting vegetable gardens. Seeds will be ordered and plans drawn up. A lot of people will be searching for information on when to plant each kind of vegetable.

So, in preparation for this coming season, I've been working for a while on a spring vegetable planting guide, where you enter your location and it will tell you when you should plant each item.

So, for example, if you enter a zipcode of 75766 (my zipcode) then it will tell me that my last frost date is around March 13. It will then give me a list of all the various vegetables and when I should start them indoors, when should I transplant them, or when should I direct sow the seeds, etc.

I'm starting to get enough progress that I'm ready to have a few people look at it and give me feedback on whether it matches their expectations. So, if you're interested in checking the feature out, please send me a tree-mail and I'll add you to the beta group.

All beta testers/participants will be given a microbadge commemorating their participation. Smiling
