RE: Gardening. Anyone use smartgardener.com? (and other questions)
J and I are going to get moving on our garden this weekend and we are trying to lay it out. I set up an account with www.smartgardener.com and it seems really neat. I'm definitely a novice gardener, so I wouldn't know what's good and bad, etc. Has anyone else used it? Is it good or bad? I plan on getting a copy of The Backyard Homestead since it was so well recommended here.
Also, I've noticed on IG and Facebook that some of my NBC friends are already outside getting work done. Where are you from and what does your timeline look like? I'd like some cooler weather stuff, but I'm afraid I might have missed the boat. In that case I'll catch up on those next year. However, we still have a tiny bit of snow left, so I'm thinking the time might be right soon.

There are a lot of free apps/website planners out there that are all basically the same quality, so if the planner is free, I say go for it. I have used excel to plan mine for the past few years, using www.mysquarefootgarden.net for spacing guides -- our soil is pure clay and I'm not interested in even attempting to work with it.
As for the timing, look up your average last frost date -- www.burpee.com and a ton of other websites will figure that our for you with your zip code. Mine is April 15, but it's still pretty cold here. I could have put out some greens, lettuces, peas, and beans, but because of the late winter they're all still inside. I roughly go by http://www.kjmbiosystems.com/Skippysgarden/plantingcalendar.html to determine planting times, but your planner might do that for you.
I hope some of this is helpful! If our rain lets up I'm planning on getting some work in this week. I've sent the husband out to get some materials for a new trellis and a new raised bed.

Since we're in Arizona, we can garden year-round. We skip the summer garden sometimes, but this year we went ahead with it. We pulled out the last of our lettuce and peas last weekend (like a month late!!), and put in squash, cucumbers, watermelon, jalapenos and beets.
Oh, and a pumpkin for Ally! Our tiny beds are going to be OVERFLOWING.
