Pick your region
The right planting month is different in every climate, and the US runs from frost-free subtropics to a hundred-day subarctic summer. Find your region for a calendar tuned to it, or enter your ZIP to jump straight there.
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 →

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.

Questions we keep getting
Is this a native app I have to download from the App Store?
Nope. It's a web app that installs to your phone home screen in one tap. No App Store, no 30% Apple tax, updates instantly. It runs offline just like a regular app.
Does it really work without internet?
Yes. Once installed, every plant, every calendar, every feature works in the garden with zero reception.
What regions does it cover?
18 climate regions across the United States: Florida, the Gulf Coast, Texas, the Desert Southwest, Southern California, Northern California, the Mountain West, the Upper Midwest, the Central Plains, the Great Lakes, the Mid-Atlantic, New England, the Upper South, the Deep South, the Pacific Northwest, the Intermountain West, Hawaii, and Alaska.
