I appreciate that!

I have a system. Similar but different. But you speak truth about being organized should something arise. Six days ago, I had to emergency leave to be with family IMMEDIATELY AFTER PLANTING 300 seedlings! My husband was able to take over on one hr notice! What a peace of mind.

I am starting my VERY FIRST garden this year and have been researching non stop all winter and this is the thing I've struggled most with. How to know when and what to plant. Especially in MN zone 4b with 145 day grow season. I've been looking up all kinds of planners and garden journals and nothing comes close to how helpful this is. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my! Lol. My system is VERY similar. Only difference is some of the materials I use. I feel so validated in my antics.

Jill do you have the link for the white board?

Good 🌄 Morning Rise and Shine

Amazing plan! I keep telling myself I'll remember but it NEVER happens. Even with a very small garden I can see how this would work so very well. My calendar notes just don't have enough room. My CPA/spreadsheet loving heart is in love with your plan!

Wow, thank you so much, Jill! I've been wracking my brain trying to figure how to best organize my seeds. I'd get my seeds together and try organizing them, get frustrated, and would just put them away. Now I have a clear picture of how I want them organized. I'm so excited.

I feel kinda proud of myself. I half way figured out what you do on my own. I'm going to be putting the other half in place. Such a brilliant system.

Yes! I don't have to remember to succession plant. I've had several of those photo containers for my seeds and crafts. When using them noted with planting dates, after I plant the first round, I can just slip the rest of those seeds in container for two weeks later. Yay! This is so simple, why didn't I think of this?

Gosh you are really organized, such an uncomplicated system you’ve shared with us! Thank you! I do keep everything I’m starting in plastic boxes like those too, my starting dates in my journal, but your idea of the erase board is Great! Happy planting

Haven't even finished the entire video, but this is AWESOME JILL! Thank you. I'm so inspired and totally taking these ideas and making it my own. Bravo Darling!

Yay! I was just doing this the other night around bedtime and got a little mentally stressed. I’m so glad to hear you say that it is a little on the difficult side because that’s how it was feeling to me also. Lol! Let’s do it!!!

Makes me feel good, I have a very similar system. Big difference for me, I write the weeks/days back from my last frost date on my calendar so I don't have to think about it. I have my seeds in a 12x12 photo album inside the picture sleves. I have a paper diary for my seeds, I might print it out on 11x17 paper and attach it to my wall that way so I can take it outside in the spring to take notes. Thank you for such great ideas.

Those photo keepers for storing seeds are fantastic, I started using them 2 years ago and I have 4 boxes full now BUT I bought mine in BLACK! (better to keep more light out) I just put the post-its on the outside of the individual boxes, although I think you can still see thru them enough that you could put the post-it on the inside if you wanted. Thanks for all the great tips. I definitely doing a glass dry erase board now!

Super I was just looking at books on this now you answer my question.

I love seeds. ❤I’m about to start my seed starts at the beginning of the month.

I am grouping my seeds for sowing like this also. I put my seeds together in their own zip bags dated for sowing to keep handy grab and go! 😊 like the excel sheet to keep record of what did well or not. Organisation is everything. Saves time, energy (Labour)and cost of missing sowing times (impacting crop production) etc …

I hope I can get to this level of organization with seed starting. It can feel pretty overwhelming. I was super excited to get your book at the Conway Books a million the other day! It’s so cool to be able to learn from and support local authors.

Great system. Looking forward to implementing it

Oh, my. I am so excited to try this!! This looks to be exactly what I need. I have been gardening for years but always seem to be flying by the seat of my pants. Thank you! Thank you!

Love it, I use a calender the same way but love the idea of putting what your doing that day in its own box and I love the white board.

What a brilliant system! Thank you!

Thank you so much Jill!!! 💚

That's amazing! Please do in depth video on the excel spreadsheet you discussed

GENIUS! The perfect January garden task!

That was a very helpful video, Thank You!

Thank you for this! I set this system up this morning and feel so prepared for the planting season. It really removes so much guesswork. Awesome!

I use a very similar system that I implemented a few years ago, and it has been a game changer for my gardening success.

Great idea. I've been thinking of doing a similar thing, but you showed me how to do it. Thank you.

Getting ready to try your seed starting system. Ordered a new seed organizer to get this going. I’m so impressed by your ability to think of this!!! Have thought about adding fertilizing schedule line? Thinking about onions, etc….

That's a great system Jill 👏 👍 plus, for me, I also have some seeds that need stratification so that's another step I have to do as well.

So helpful! Thank you, Jill! I am curious how this works with succession planting?

I add an extra step. I have several herbs, flowers and medicinal plants that need to be cold stratified for "x" amount weeks and I separate those out first because I need to add that amount of time to the sowing date. And a lot of seed packs don't tell you that you need to cold stratify.

Love the logic in this!! I’m in zone 10b so we don’t have a Frost and our seasons don’t follow the typical instructions.

Excellent tips!! So thankful I found this video!!

This information helped me a bunch, I couldn’t figure out when to start seeds so I started them all at the same time which was a disaster. OMG thank you. Not confused anymore. I think I did over complicated it all. Thanks for sharing.

First time viewer. Thank you for explaining the last frost. I’m new at gardening. I have house plants, gardening is something I’m not familiar with and unsure about what to do. I subscribed to your channel. 😊

I love this! Last year I got poisoned potting mix, which was discouraging, to say the least. I didn’t really have a vegetable garden until fall, and those crops were planted too late, mostly. This year, I’ve started soooo many seeds with great success, but still found my timing is off a bit and I have too many of some things as well. I am going to go back and implement your system so that I can have a more successful fall season AND a better grasp on next year’s spring garden. Thanks!!!! 💗💗💗💗

This is brilliant! I started something similar last year but it didn't occur to me to group the seeds into their own boxes. I was fishing through my stash every time it was time to start the next crop.

I love how organised you are!! I planned on being organised this past growing season and it seriously alllll went out the window! With some of the additional growing knowledge I’ve gained and taking ideas from your seeding schedule, I think it will help me be in a much better place for the next season. Love these planning videos and if you have anymore good tips, please share!
