Pick your region
Florida spans three growing regions, and the right planting month is different in each. Choose yours for a calendar tuned to your climate.
Not sure which one? North Florida is roughly Ocala and north, Central runs to about Lake Okeechobee, and South covers the frost-free tip. See all regions โ
Beyond Florida, we're expanding across the warm-climate US. First-pass calendars are now live for the Gulf South, Desert Southwest and Texas, with local review under way.
Why Planting Season
Built on UF/IFAS
Every sowing window is sourced from University of Florida extension guidance, the data Florida gardeners already trust, not a national average that ignores your summers.
Florida's real seasons
Fall is the main planting season, winter keeps growing, and summer is the dead season for most crops. Our calendars are built that way around, not flipped from a temperate template.
Three regions, not one
North, Central and South Florida grow on different schedules. Pick your region and the windows, varieties and tips adjust to it.
