You can download a copy.
The original should not allow you to change anything in it.
Download a copy and you should be able to edit your copy. Click File and then Make a Copy.
Then you change the date in the top left corner in yellow. That is supposed to be your last frost date.
ONLY change the date in yellow to your frost free date and the dates to sow seeds will change. Changing other cells could alter the equation.
You can find your last frost Date here!

Great video with excellent tips! I always put any grain product in my garage freezer when it first arrives to avoid those mites! So gross.
I have taken the mealworm plunge. Just ordered 1000. Thank you for the well done presentation and tips. I Subscribed for your great content. Best wishes and warm regards.
Good luck with your new adventure!
@WholesomeRoots Thank you dear, my flock and I are very grateful for the help along the way. 🐔🐥🐛
Great tips!
I get my larvae from a pet supply or fishing supply store. I've raised them in a large glass vase as well as smaller plastic food containers.
Super easy and the birds really appreciate it!!
Thank you for the confidence that one container isn't crazy.
I also saw your seed starting sheet. Such a life saver!!!
Thank you so much! I am hoping to grow some for my future chickens and this was very useful!
Excellent! Thank you!
I have had tiny bugs whitish huge problem i placed my colony outside it blanketed everything. Thank you for the tip of freezing containers before placing in colony. My colony died off mainly not fully left outside cold weather. Thanks i learned something new.
This was such a helpful video! Thank you for giving me the knowledge to try this. The mealworms I buy for my chickens used to cost $12 and they are now up to $20! Yikes! This will help so much.
Hey Rose, you are looking healty and happy. :) I have a question. How do you clean out the poops?
Hey Rose, I've seen you feed the Mealworms way back, but never knew you had Beetles in there Too!
Very interesting process 👍.
JO JO IN VT 💕😄
I really enjoyed your educational mealworm video. Thank you!
We do the insane separation of beetles, larvae and pupae, but I'm glad to know a one container method works too! Going to try this.. thanks for the useful video!
Best of luck!
Really like your videos. They are much more informative because I've watched a lot of videos on a subject and you explain things very well hope to see much more videos thank you
Good info!
Great video! Thanks so much.
I'm going to do this for my quail and chickens! Wish me luck!
Awesome video! Thanks you
Glad you liked it!
Merry Christmas Rose. I just got a notification for this video. Wow it’s been a long time since I have been to your channel! I have chickens and I am interested in feeding them good non gmo foods. Thank you so much. We have some aquariums so that would be what we use as well. Happy Holidays! Wendy🎄⛄️
Happy holidays! So glad. This video helps! Missed seeing you around!
I can't find the link below for the mealworms from Amazon I've checked all the links below and I don't see it thank you
Thank you for the great video, we've seen a few before yours and have seem pretty much the same setup, but you have a better system where you don't have to go through the separation phase. My wife wondered wouldn't the beetles crawl out of the containers without lids? Another question regarding your red trays Did you make the setup or did you find it sold somewhere?
One more question. What size of colony do you need for sustainment of 4 - 6 chickens? How often do you feed the larva to the chickens?
I can’t find the link to larvae ??
Too many beetles? Time to make friends with chickens and teach them the ways, lol.
My daughter in law has given me a small supply of her mealworm farm ( I just want to feed the robin I see in my garden.. hopefully.. eventually.. have it feeding out my hand / for photography ) and I came here for a little more insight of how they get looked after/farmed... Ps had to laugh to myself when an advert came on part way through advertising Quaker Oats! Ugh!.. :)
Lol, funny! Good luck!
Can you add flour, for food?
I just provide bird seeds and oatmeal as substrate. Then once every other day i givethem some fruits and veggies. I don’t even change the substrate 🤷 They infinite breed
Good job! They can be very simple for sure.
Where did you get your meal worms from? And how often do you feed them to your chickens?
She said in the video that she'd put a link in the description, but I followed every link and no mealworm (at any stage) purchase info.
🙏😎
How many of these worms do you need to feed to say 1 chicken.. just wondering how many worms I'd need to feed the chickens.. thanks😊
🙏🏻❤️👍🏻😃
Do u need to keep your mill worms in the house
About to start raising them soon for my quail. I'm doing the deep drawers with a screen (for beetle drawer) method. I don't trust myself to not neglect them at a critical phase and discover the beetles ate everything.
Do you have any tips on where to find wheat bran in bulk? I can't seem to find it anywhere except in 1 or 2lb bags but I need a whole lot...
I’ve heard about 10 different accents
Yes! Or maybe 2-3. I have lived all over, though, lol.
