How to Plant What and When

There are a lot of websites that talk about planting depth and spacing between plants and rows some good ones include: The Vegetable Garden's Planting Schedule, and Planting Zones and Colorado State Master Gardener Program Page 720-3. I have used similar sites as well as what I have learned from my dad and grandfather. So attached is my own little planting guide for the things I plant.
