I like to get my beans out before Easter Sunday. I kind of use that as my marker. I usually start my tomatoes and peppers inside the first week of March.

Wouldn't you need a lab for that? Otherwise, how would you know for sure that the seed came from the pollen of plant X which fertilized plant Y? I'm only thinking back to biology class. That was years and years ago, so I could be wrong on that.

No, I don't cover any graves. It's tradition in my family to get cremated and sprinkled wherever you wish. It's like one last adventure I suppose.
