This little tidbit came from the phenology web site:
When the daffodils begin to bloom it is time to plant peas
When the blossoms of the apple tree begin to fall, plant your corn seeds
When dandelions are blooming plant beets and carrots
Plant potatoes when the shadbush flowers
When elm leaves are the size of a penny plant kidney beans

Guineas begin laying eggs when the Redbud blooms.
6 weeks?? till first frost when the frost flower blooms.

I'd love to find a listing or compile one.
We spent a lot more time tracking soil temps this spring for planting rather
than just watching the calendar. (love the stats and charts in Johnny's
catalog). Seems to have worked well. We planted summer squash too early last
year and it sulked.
