I usually always plant by the Farmer's Almanac. According to the FA, today and tomorrow are the best days this month to plant above ground crops. But of course, I also like to plant on Good Friday. Mostly though, I prefer the FA.

I took the weekend off from work just to plant most of my garden. My DH knew better than to refuse my request for time off from the accounting practice. ;-) You know that I'm in "hog heaven" playing in the dirt. LOL My garden areas are all tested, manured, peat mossed, tilled, and raked. All I have to do is get out there tomorrow and plant from sun up to sun down and pray that I finish planting everything. I'm setting my alarm for 5 AM just so I can get caffeined up with lots of coffee in preparation for all of the work that lies ahead of me. I'll be planting green peppers, red peppers, yellow squash, zucchini, eggplant, buttercruch and romaine lettuce, cucumbers, cantaloupes, lots of herbs, green beans, and >100 tomato plants. Hopefully I'll be able to locate some sweet banana pepper plants (that I haven't been able to find so far) that I can plant on Good Friday. If not, I'll have to wait until sometime in April when it's time to plant above ground crops again.

How many of you plant by the Farmer's Almanac or on Good Friday?
