What to plant, where to go, and what is on — season by season, for Columbus and for Ohio at large. Split three ways by how far you have to go, the same cut the front page and Date night use.
- Seasonal Activities at Home — the planting calendar, the preserving year, winterizing the house, and the indoor half of December to February.
- Seasonal Activities in Town — the market season, Metro Parks, city festivals, and what is open when the markets close.
- Seasonal Activities out of Town — state parks, national land, and the trips that need a tank of gas. Not written yet; the material it will be built from is listed on the page, and most of it is in ohio parks.
The date all three turn on
Central Ohio Monthly Planting records last frost around April 28 and first frost around October 9 for Columbus, noted against the Old Farmer's Almanac planting calendar for the city. That is 164 frost-free days — a little over five months in which anything tender can be outside.
Everything on these pages is assembled from pages already on this site. Where the site has no record of something, the page says so rather than filling the gap.
What the whole set is still missing
- August through December planting. Six empty headings in Central Ohio Monthly Planting.
- A single sourced central Ohio festival date. The festivals the site names carry a month and a city, no year-specific date and no source, and Columbus Events and Ohio Art Events are frontmatter with no body.
- Ohio-specific crop coverage. Everything You Can Grow In Ohio is a title with no content — stacked frontmatter blocks left by an old bad merge.
- Running and hiking routes. No Columbus trail, park loop, or race is documented, so the outdoor sections are park systems rather than specific routes.
