Daisy Hill Farm Seed Starting Schedule

Seed Starting Process : Timing -Do not start seeds too early!

Use this map to figure out your average last frost date: www.Plantmaps.com
Use the last average frost date to work backwards using this interactive spreadsheet (this one is the best!) and determine when to start seeds indoors. https://www.johnnyseeds.com/growers-library/seed-planting-schedule-calculator.html
