Figures are a guideline. Obviously planting will depend on individual tastes and family requirements (Nope, still can’t make me eat or grow Brussels Sprouts 😛 )
NOTE: Do not plant everything at once! Succession planting will ensure you are not inundated with massive amounts of a single crop and that you always have crops.
Refer to individual planting guides and the Month by Month Calendar for correct planting times.
