      <h1>Intensive Vegetable Garden Scheduler</h1>
      <p>
        This handy tool helps plan your intensively planted, organic,
        no-dig, home vegetable garden.  Just select your first and
        last frost dates and a planting schedule will be generated for
        you.
      </p>
      <p>
        The schedule works by using generalized information about
        different types of crops such as average weeks to maturity,
        whether direct sowing or transplanting is preferred, weeks
        between plantings for continuous harvests, when and how a fall
        crop should be planted (if applicable), etc.  Such
        generalizations could never hope to capture the true
        complexity of growing vegetables, but it should serve as a
        useful reference point so that you don't get lost in the weeds
        during the growing season and forget to sow the next crop of
        bush beans.
      </p>
      <p>
        My gardening style is a combination of several intensive
        growing strategies in an attempt to grow as much food as
        possible using the least space and least effort.  Those
        strategies are: square foot gardening, "no dig" AKA "no till",
        multisowing, and succession planting.
      </p>
      <p>
        Finally, this planner is intended for gardeners located in the
        nothern areas of the northern hemisphere where we need to
        start many summer crops indoors and cannot harvest during
        winter without season extension.  All planting dates are made
        under the assumption that no season extension techniques are
        being applied.
