Planting Timing
Start from harvest, not from planting
Pick the week you want the crop off the field, then count backwards through flowering and vegetative growth. If the resulting start date lands before your soil is ready, the plan needs adjusting rather than optimism.
Watch soil temperature, not the date
Calendar dates vary year to year. Consistent soil temperature at seeding depth is the better signal, and it saves replanting a block that went in during a cold snap.
Build in slack
Weather, equipment, and labour all slip. A schedule with no spare days turns a two-day rain delay into a compressed harvest.
