Default Almanac date?

What day is THE day to plant this year? I know a lot of ppl just plant Good Friday but I like to go off the exact day according to the almanac. I know there are several but I know there is one day that basically lines up for every crop. Anyone know that day?

I've never really heard of ONE day.....For April, the almanac says.....

Plant aboveground crops on the 6th and 7th.
Plant belowground crops on the 16th, 17th, 24th, and 25th.

I usually try to plant before Turkey season start.....about 3 rd Saturday of March. But I [like most people] got hurt bad last spring by the late cold spells.

I planted this past Monday, after the forecast showed 60 F night time temperatures for the next 4 or 5 days. Some seeds started coming up on Friday and more on Saturday despite some low 50 F night temp.

My tomatoes and peppers plants have all grown some since Monday planting.

Everything looks good as of now.
