Great article, but I would like to suggest adding another catagory: I like to start a lot of seed indoors, so instead of going through all my seed each time I want to plant, I organize them according to planting time, special treatment and temperature for germination. Then when I'm ready to go to work I don't have to go through the whole batch, besides it keeps down my urge to start eveything toooo early.

Bee, that is a great idea. Last year I missed starting some seeds that needed to be started early because I forgot I had them!

Hi Beegray, I don't start any seed indoors at all Bee, which is why I do not catagorize my seeds the way you do... I winter sow or direct sow everything.

I do however have spreadsheets with planting times on them, and I get pop up messages on my computer calender when it's time to plant something! Isn't that handy? Hubby used his work calender program in my computer for this feature.
