Why Planting Season
Built on local extension data
Every sowing window is grounded in regional extension guidance, the land-grant data gardeners in your area already trust, not a one-size-fits-all national average.
Your region's real seasons
Frost-free winters in the south, a hundred-day summer in the north, two seasons split by heat in between. Each calendar is built around the seasons your region actually has.
Eighteen regions, not one
From the Pacific Northwest to the Gulf, the Mountain West to New England, plus Hawaii and Alaska. Pick your region and the windows, varieties and tips adjust to it.
