Barb - for scheduling plantings I use a spreadsheet. I have a few columns of
info - crop, variety, days to maturity, etc, then narrow columns for each
week of the year. I color the weeks of last frost, first frost, market
opens, etc (fill), and code in the proper week for seeding, transplating,
direct seeding, start harvest, pull out. You can use numbers (which works
well for sorting) or letters (s, ds, t, h). Put different succession
plantings on separate rows.

Carla,
I am so with you on that one! I have teenage kids who are amazingly
helpful, but with their schedules and my schedule and then our county fair
is right in the midst of the busiest time with animals to get ready and
show....well I'm tired just thinking about it :) Husband has a regular job
too, and he works long hours. Thankfully, he finds weeding to be meditative

and he'll weed every night he can.
Liz, a schedule would be awesome! Right now I make lists on just plain
pieces of paper and sometimes wake up at night thinking about more things to

add to my list. My kitchen calendar is already too full to add more to it on

a daily basis. I have trouble knowing when to start and then when to
transplant seedlings. It's certainly an art form. Any sort of list would
be helpful to me.
