Gardenning Tool

I just created a helpful tool for garden planning. If you would like to use it, please save a copy for yourself and edit your own copy.

It works like this... say you have 2100 pea seeds and you want to know how long and wide your planting row needs to be, just type in the cell that says "quantity of seed" and it will tell you your row length. It will also tell you the average yield you can expect. Say the yield is not enough and you want more (or less), then type in the cell that says "harvest desired" and you will come up with the # of seeds you need.
If you are starting transplants the formula is a little more complicated, but those cells are highlighted in blue for you.
If you are going to change or add a vegetable be sure you pick a row that will have the same planting as you are going to do (ie. direct seeding). You could also reply here and I will add your vegetable to the table if that is easier.
