Organize loose seed packets and create a seasonal sowing/transplant calendar so you know when to start each variety. Use this when preparing for the next planting season or clearing storage.
Seed packets are scattered across drawers and shelves with unknown sowing windows and no schedule for the upcoming season.
Many packets lack clear sow/transplant dates or use different terminology, and loose packets make it hard to locate varieties later. You also need to convert recommended sowing windows into specific calendar dates.
All seed packets are grouped by season with sow and transplant dates translated into a calendar, labeled storage locations, and a digital copy of the planting schedule.
