I was able to make things very easy on myself (which is good since I am trying to take in so much at once) with the general garden planning. The Old Farmer's Almanac - my favorite periodical since forever, even before any thoughts of anything like this - proved its worth yet again.
I gave them a ZIP code and they gave me a great starter list of plants (that will grow in that area, of course) and general dates for them (starting seeds, planting outdoors, etc.). Letting somebody else - who is more knowledgeable - figure out what won't grow in an area based on climate makes a lot more sense then me guessing.
Although a few plants I figure I am not going to attempt early on, sweet potatoes being one of them. I like them and all, but they will present more challenges than other crops. I'm not fooling myself here: I will be dealing with enough challenges with crops considered "hardy" and "easy to grow."
