I like your strategy of timing the plantings. I've never done this before, so I'm agonizing over it daily. I finally went with "Plant early, plant often." If my first set of seeds doesn't do well at any time, I'm hoping to have backups that are only 2-3 weeks behind to take their place. All those that make it but aren't needed in my garden will go to the local food bank. Clients can take them home and grow their own. Most of those are pot-sized, so I'm really interested in your reasoning for what goes in the ground, and what doesn't. Feel free to answer here or in a pm, if at all.
