Yes, I have seriously overthought this. Also, I have a lot of stuff to plant. Good grief. But I love having a plan, love knowing that I get to start in a week and a half, love knowing that while there’s not a lot to do now, I’m going to be busy for the next six months after.
*As soon as soil can be worked
[ETA 3/3/08 to add new seeds: Utah celery, cutting celery, Chioggia beets, alyssum, bread seed poppy, and Chinese cabbage.]

What a plan! I’m impressed. We’ve got to get on the ball and get some seeds started. With how screwey the weather has been I wouldn’t be surprised if we had our last frost, like, next week, so I want to get a jump on the season.

Your ASASCBW date is about two months ahead of mine. This is an ambitious schedule … I hope you post updates. It’ll be good motivation for me.

I’ve got “Snow Crown.” I don’t know one from the other (yet), so just picked one pretty much at random. We’ll see how they do!

Lemons have a low, highly acidic pH, which is attributable
to their citric acid content. The acidity of a fresh lemon can vary between 2.
2 and 2.4 within the pH scale, depending within
the fruit’s state of ripeness.

Hey Jeff i am presently performing your optimum anabolic system but haven’t experienced a lot luck in taking in the calculated 170 grams of protein a day. I average between 120 to 140g a day. Im approaching my protein deprivation period and need to know if it will likely be a waste and not begin to see the effects due to the fact i could not consume adequate protein up to this point.
