This is a wonderful way to teach you about the veggies and when they can be grown. It may seem grade school like but once you learn this way you won't forget it.
Make a card for each vegetable, mark the est. days to harvest on the front and save the back for pasting on some information I will be giving you as we go. Some veggies have multi-cards. The other thing that is nice to do is put your card and then the varieties of seeds for that season in a baggie. Keep it all in a box and by just looking for the card color you can grab the next seeds for planting, save your brain for other things!.
