Planting schedule for 2010 Garden

So many have asked what my planting schedule will be. Below is what I'm planting and when. Hudson's Hardware in Clayton puts out an annual planting schedule for free. I've used that as a guide and just gage the weather from there.

2/1 Spinach (seeds or plants) = Matures 3/17
2/15 Lettuce (plants) = Matures 4/1
