School Vegetable Garden Yearly Calendar

Description
Have you ever wanted to start a school vegetable garden but didn't know where to begin? Well, now you can use School Vegetable Garden Yearly Calendar as an overview of what awaits and as a checklist for the school vegetable garden over the year.
In vegetable gardening as in life, things go better with a schedule. With this in mind, School Vegetable Garden Yearly Calendar is designed to assist you and your students in all aspects of vegetable gardening: when to sow, how to grow, when to harvest.
As large and diverse as North America is, it is impossible to work out a schedule that is accurate for all areas, so School Vegetable Garden Yearly Calendar is timed around Zone 4, with a last frost date around May 20th. For each zone warmer, count on an extra week or two of frost-free weather at both ends of the season, vice versa for colder zones.
Also, it is very important that you do not attempt to take care of the school vegetable garden all by yourself. Enlist the help of as many volunteers as you can wrangle up (present and former students, parents, grandparents, friends, etc.) You will thank yourself and your volunteers will thank you as they see the fruits of their labors and the smile on your students faces!
