The Season Cycle Technique:
- Each column represents a Mini 4, 2" block row. Sow at least 4 seeds of the same variety down the row(A,B,C,D). Or......
- Each column represents a Micro 20, 3/4" block row, for a total of two 20 block sets. Sow at least 4 seeds of the same variety down the row(A,
B,C,D) Using 1-5 for the first set, 6-10 for the second set will give you 40 3/4" block spaces to log.
- Write in the block space: the seed, variety, company, and date.
- If, you are going to sow more than one row at a time, and choose to fill up your flat (note: maximum amount chart will hold is 40 blocks), then
go ahead and log all the specific information your seeds will experience in that moment.
- Keep track of all plantings. Store Season Cycles in a 3 ring binder with plastic sleeves.
- Re-read often as you like, you'll gain great insight into the cycles of the garden and the season as it relates to seed sowing.
Tips:
- Use a pen, and don't get the paper wet. Store in a plastic sleeve, hung up high in your garden space.
- Use a clip board if you got one! String a pen to it, and ACT professional!
- Use a moon calendar and plant with the waning and waxing of the moon cycles.
- You can enlarge the charts with your printer settings. For 4" blocks, combine 4 squares for transplanting data. Take just as good notes.
- See FAQ for more information on why we should all be using Season Cycles for organization.
- Learn from your mistakes by finding out what doesn't work, and refusing to do it again.
