§ How it works
Three steps to a full plan

Set your spot
Pick your USDA zone (or type your real frost dates) and your plot size. That is what makes the calendar accurate for your yard.

Plant your squares

A free vegetable garden planner built for small properties — not sprawling farms.
It uses the square-foot gardening method, so you get the most out of a tidy raised bed or a larger in-ground plot without overcrowding. Pick from common vegetables, herbs, flowers, and fruit, and the planner handles spacing, sun, water, and companion notes for you.
The planting calendar is driven by frost dates, not just a hardiness-zone label, so it tells you when to start seeds indoors, when to plant outside, and roughly when to harvest. Know your local last-frost and first-frost dates? Type them in for the most accurate schedule.
