Last year I went through my ridiculous stash of seeds and sorted out what I was going to plant.
I threw them into an Evernote table and looked up and added when/where each should be started, with detailed instructions. I printed it out so it was in my seed-starting area and highlighted what needed to be done first (in the absence of a sort by date function). Then I tried to follow my schedule.
Then life happened and everything failed. But! I think I'll try again this year, and fingers crossed for no Life Happening.
It looked something like this:
Seeds, where and when to plant
Last frost date May 1-10, say 15
Eisheiligen May 11-15
Early spring is probably Feb
