Thank you, Mavis! With everything you have to do this weekend and you do this for us…wow, Woman you are amazing! Hugs!!!!
Tina says
I couldn’t help but notice Mache all by itself under January direct seed. Is this something you grow?
Mavis says
I will be planting it this winter. It sounds pretty cool.
Theresa says
Loved this site and the helpful info…thank-you!!!
Jamie says
I really like the posts you do on how to grow things from start to finish. Could you do one on asparagus? My grandmother always had a nice asparagus patch when I was a girl, I would love to have an asparagus patch like she always did. I live in the KC, MO area so I think it is a good growing area for this? I just don’t know how to do it!

Here in Tulsa and thankful for the guide. I’m not a first time gardener but it is nice to have something like this to go by.
Jess says
This is SO helpful. This is my first year having a garden and I came to this page to see when I should plant garlic. Thank you. 😀

I saw this on Pinterest and could not see the whole page so I emailed it to myself but same thing. Wondering if there is somewhere I can see the whole page. I can only see the months not the vegetable listing.
Mavis Butterfield says
I just emailed you the link. Hopefully you’ll be able to see it.
