Notes:

1- Use transplants (if appropriate) or buy the amount of seed needed to grow this many plants per 10 feet of row. Seed packets usually state the number of seeds in the packet as well as the seed planting depth and plant spacing for the variety you are buying.
2- Days from seeding to harvest: Values in parentheses are days from transplants to first harvest.
3- Minimum distance between rows (when planting in rows). Row spacing can be reduced or ignored as long as plants are spaced correctly.
4- Transplant Ability Categories: Easy- seedlings easily survive transplanting; Moderate- seedlings survive with care; Hard- Only plant seeds or containerized transplants with well-developed root systems.
5- Rotate plant families; i.e., avoid successively planting vegetables from the same family in the same area of the garden.
