Planting Guide for Englehart, ON

In case you were needing a "guideline" for starting seeds or transplanting in our area, whether by the date or the moon! (Of course, this is only a guide and depending on the season, you can take a chance with some earlier dates! Just be warned: if you don't have bright light or a little greenhouse, starting tomatoes, etc. too early will not give you much of an advantage if they are leggy and struggling!) ;)

Garden Ontario Week 2019
