An Easter surprise for you!

As we all know, the early bird catches the worm, and we gardeners believe that those who sow/plant early will reap early. My father was strictly against sowing too early. Back then, seeds were still sown in beds, and you had to work with the temperature that was in the bed. Today, many gardeners use lamps and grow indoors. Since I want to make the most of my new raised beds, I was looking for the answer to the question: how long does it take from sowing to harvest? I came across a table from the Cooperation Center for Solidarity-Based Agriculture in Switzerland. It has tables for this. The first number is the number of days from sowing to harvest at a growing temperature of 20 degrees, broken down by sowing and planting month. At lower growing temperatures, the period is extended by several weeks. Here are a few examples: The first number is the number of days for sowing in January/February and the second for March/April. Cauliflower 130-150 days to 100 days Broccoli 130-160 days to 100 days White cabbage 120-150 days to 100 days Kohlrabi 105-130 days to 85-100 days What use are the most beautiful, pre-grown plants? At some point, they have to be put out into the harsh natural environment, where they have to take root and continue to grow. I probably won't sow any seeds before March.
