I found this very useful webpage for an inexperience gardener like me, if you enter your zip code it will give you the best planting dates in your zone according to the farmer's almanac. I thought it would be a goog idea to sahre it. You can check it here.

The seeds I already started are crossed out in my list. Nevertheless I will still plant new seeds outdoors and transplant the ones growing in the house outside. I am being very precautious in case all my plants die for some bizarre reason I will still have a back up plan with new plants growing. Some vegetables must be sown directly in the ground, e.g.: watermelon.

I am still waiting for my seed-swap partners seeds to arrive, when I get them I will post the resultsand my review about the whole process which has it's plus and minuses and risks.

I am delighted with the variety of vegetables and fruits that I can grow here in California, I remember the limits of having to grow a vegetable garden in the soaky, humid summers of Buenos Aires: no melons, no watermelons.
