    I searched on Google for my area (Saginaw County Michigan) and have not
    been able to find such a handy calendar. It seems like there would be one
    somewhere. Good resource for those that can find one. We are planning to
    expand our garden and stretch our gardening season.

    Thanks for the tips and encouragement. I have been doing a study on winter
    gardening in the north. Dreaming about a geothermal green house for growing
    in 4 ft of snow! Looking for plans for geothermal greenhouses….only found
    one so far.

    Last year I used my local planting guide for carrots. None of my gardening
    friends have ever been able to grow carrots because they plant them the
    Spring. I plant them mid Fall and leave them till early spring. I have
    great carrot harvest by following the ag extention guide and forgetting
    about the days till harvest time on the back of the seed package. So what
    my carrots are in the ground 5 months till I harvest. They taste great.

    We’re giving winter gardening a try. Here in the Colorado Rockies we’re
    putting in beets, kale, spinach, collards & lettuce. Our shade cloth is up
    now as it’s burning hot. Liable to change at a moments notice, Our plastic
    cover is ready to go. We’ll let you know how it turns out.

    Good information. I have been using these for the last year or so. They are
    a great reference but not the rule. Play around with planting dates and
    always write down what you did so you will know if it was a success or
    failure. I would also recommend searching Google for average frost dates by
    zip code. A lot of stuff is recommend by frost dates so having that info is
    very handy.
