What to plant now, made for Florida

Most planting apps run on last-frost dates, so they're wrong for Florida. We build month-by-month calendars on UF/IFAS guidance for the seasons Florida actually has: a fall-and-winter main season, a spring shoulder, and a summer most crops sit out.

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.
