Garden Planting Calendar cover

Your frost dates, your crops, every date on one page.

Every seed packet says "sow 6 to 8 weeks before last frost" and leaves you to work out what that means in your garden this year. This does the whole packet drawer at once.

WHAT IT DOES

  • Start-indoors date, transplant or direct-sow date and first-harvest date for each crop, from your frost dates
  • Succession sowings for the quick crops (lettuce, radish, beans, carrots) every few weeks until they would not ripen in time
  • Fall sowing dates for the cool-season crops, counted back from the first frost
  • A red flag on anything whose days to maturity run past your first frost, with what to do about it
  • A season chart: indoors, in the ground, harvesting, for every crop on one bar each
  • A to-do list in date order, with the next job at the top
  • 40 crops built in: tomatoes to garlic, brassicas to herbs

THE BED PLANNER

  • Name your beds with their size and the family that grew there last year
  • Assign each crop a bed: it works out how many plants fit at intensive spacing (and plants per row for the succession crops)
  • Rotation check: a nightshade going back into last year's nightshade bed is flagged
  • Occupancy: it warns when too many crops overlap in one bed at once, tells you when each bed frees up, and where there is room for a fall sowing

Who it's for

Vegetable gardeners in any climate with a frost. Short-season growers especially: the "won't ripen" flag is the one that saves the season.
