In the end it's experiential knowledge that gives the touch and the awareness of how the cycles unfold.

My planning starts way in advance of me ever tilling the raised beds. I know each year that I will be planting around a certain time frame, but I allow the weather outside to tell me when to plant. For me, the scent and feel of the air is different when it is time to plant--hard to explain. I stick to my intuition to tell me when the time is right to plant, and so far each year I havnt been off.
