I have my garden plan at www.growveg.com. I love the ease of design and all the info that comes with it.

Holy crap! How in the world am I going to get all this done in two weeks? I don't have enough lights or space or attention span. After a few deep breaths I took stock and realized that I already started all the brassicas. The brassicas are ready for hardening off in the cold frame within the week. The lettuces, mache, endive, arugula, cress will all fit in two 72 in flats. The carrots, spinach, and peas will be direct seeded in April. I'll start the peppers this week and in two weeks start the tomatoes. All but the peppers and tomatoes and basil will be outside or in the cold frame by April. So indoors taking up all of my growing stand will be light and heat loving peppers and tomatoes.
I think I can handle this...
You can do it!! Grow the peppers and the broccoli first :) I'm a farmer, but I would not have known that you could start planting all of those outdoor plants yet, thats pretty cool.
