How to modify this spreadsheet for your own crops:


1. Enter your First Fall Frost Date in the dark green box at the top.
2. Enter the Varieties you’re planting in Column B, then enter Days to Maturity (from your own records or from the catalog) in Column C.
3. Enter the Interval Between Successions, ie, the number of days you want to wait between succession plantings, in Column D. (Or leave it as is, for our recommended frequency.)
4. Enter the actual date of your first planting for each crop.
5. The formulas are embedded, so the dates of all subsequent plantings will display in Columns F-L. If the Final Planting Date is earlier than any of the dates in these columns, ignore them and pay attention to
M.
*Note: The Final Planting Date that displays in Column M is the last date you can plant and expect to get a harvest if you are growing outside in the field, without using row cover or other season extension me
If you do use season extension methods, your final planting date may be several weeks to a month later. You will still need to use your own judgement about whether you can get a crop if you plant this late, b
the time a crop needs to reach maturity is affected by your latitude, weather, and other local factors that cannot be calculated here.
