Last Updated on August 15, 2020 — This list updates as the garden develops.
(Please Note: Hopefully before July 2021, I will add the icons I kept promising.)
Last frost date: Est: May 20; First frost date: Est: September 20. [122 day season]
~ How to read the plantings list ~
Name: Listed alphabetically by a common name, and, when known, the Latin name.
- Status Pending – non-formatted common names mean I’m unsure if alive or not.
- Survivor – bold names have emerged from a ground sown seed, or an indoor/transplant lived a week past replanting. If death occurs after survivor designation: any survivors keep the name bold, if all are lost…then
struck out. Deceased– Plants where the entire attempt has shuffled off this mortal coil.
Sow Type
- ground – seed sown directly to ground
- indoor – seed/bulb/chitting/set started in jar/pot/egg carton indoors
- transplant – bought starters, tree saplings, or mature plants from on or off grounds
Date
Date(s) listed are when they were planted. Year noted when not of this year.
Numbers (ex: 2/8)
- The first number is how many we started with, regardless of sow type. A “?” next to the first number means we can’t find the count or forgot to note it.
- The latter number denotes survivor total. A “!” denotes we are awaiting results.
