If the question is directed at me, then it seems you and I follow the similar schedule. Some "garden by the moon," but I "garden by the holidays."
Peppers, eggplants, and all cool weather crops (kale, onions, woody herbs, lettuce, etc.) are started around Valentine's Day.
Everything else around St. Patrick's day.
The cold hardy stuff goes out around Patriots Day.
The rest goes out around a Memorial Day.
Garlic usually gets harvested around Independence Day.
The following year's garlic crop is planted around Columbus Day.
Beds are mulched for the winter around Veterans Day.
The week between Christmas and New Years I make my list and order any seeds I need.
And then the cycle starts again.
