James and Eric,
Thank you both for the honest and timely feedback! Greatly appreciate it. I should have mentioned that day "0" of the timeline was inteneded to be the last expected frost for the region. I am understanding more and more that gardening is scientific but also an art form with tons of successful "recipes" from experts like yourselves. Thanks again and I would love additional feedback from anyone that has any.
Cheers and Merry Christmas!
