Gee, I better find time to listen to those podcasts! The only time I remember hearing my name, I almost fell out of my chair laughing. Dave thanked me for finding an irrigation timer online, then mentioned dryly "of course it took him THREE PAGES of text to mention the links ...". As Sheldon of Big Bang Theory tells us: "It's funny because it's true."

You'll be teaching the Master Gardeners very soon. You might want to invest some time asking neighbors what THEY do anyway, so that after you figure it out for yourself, they'll be more willing to listen to your opinions. I think everyone loves giving their opinion.

Yes and no! What we really need as gardeners is to follow the FUTURE weather very closely. "When we set out transplants" depends on actual future weather, not "climate" or past averages. It keeps things interesting.

That explains it! I was pretty jealous that your FIRST TRY at starting seeds indoors worked much better than my 1st through 5th attempts. Finding good advice and then following it - what a good idea!
