Vegetable Garden Planner

The vegetable garden planner that starts from your own frost dates and tells you, week by week, when to plant what.

YOUR PLANTING CALENDAR, WORKED OUT FOR YOUR GARDEN
Pick the nearest of 130 US places, or type your own last spring and first fall frost dates, and the app builds a planting calendar month by month: what to start indoors, what to plant out and what to sow outdoors, every week of the season. It answers "when to plant" for more than 90 vegetables and herbs, from tomatoes and peppers to garlic in the autumn. Southern hemisphere and frost-free gardens work too.

THIS WEEK, AT A GLANCE
The first screen is this week's garden jobs: seeds to start, seedlings to set out, rows to sow, and the last week of each window, so nothing slips past.

BEDS DRAWN TO SCALE
Draw your raised beds in feet or metres and lay them out on a garden plot. Plant each bed square foot garden style: tap a square, pick a crop, and the app gives it the room its spacing needs, from 16 carrots in a square to a 3 by 3 block for a zucchini. Plant counts per bed add up as you go, so your garden layout and your seed order agree.

NEXT YEAR, DO BETTER
Start a new season and your beds come with you. The crop rotation check flags any family grown in the same bed last year. The journal keeps sowing dates, what came up, planting out and every harvest, with photos, and shows what worked last season.

YOUR GARDEN STAYS ON YOUR PHONE
No account, no sign-in, no location permission, no ads and no tracking. Everything works offline, out in the garden.

Frost dates are averages (NOAA 1991 to 2020 climate normals for the nearest listed weather station): adjust for your garden. Crop timings are general home-garden guidance and can be edited. The app gives growing tips only; it gives no pesticide or chemical advice and does not identify wild plants.

Data credits: freeze dates from NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, U.S. Climate Normals 1991 to 2020 (public domain). Hardiness zones from the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map 2023, data by the PRISM Group, Oregon State University (prism.oregonstate.edu); not the official USDA map.
