Cover, welcome, contents, and a clear note on where the information comes from.
25 crops, one page each
Warm-season crops are shaded red, cool-season crops green. Kale, garlic and herbs are not included in this edition.
Designed to be read
Garden notebooks get used outdoors, in bright light, with muddy hands. Body text is about 12 points, headings are larger, nothing is set in tiny print, and colors always come with labels, so black-and-white printing works too.
Where the numbers come from
Spacing, planting depth, days to maturity, frost tolerance and transplant ages for all 25 crops come from Colorado State University Extension's Vegetable Planting Guide. Care tips and troubleshooting pages are general gardening guidance.

Do I need special software?
No. Any free PDF reader opens it on a phone, tablet or computer, and any home printer works.
Can I type into the PDF?
No. It is designed to be printed and written on by hand. It is not a fillable form.
