Garden Planner

Plan the garden at the kitchen table this winter, then keep the whole season in one place. This garden planner starts with your own frost dates and counts every sowing in weeks before or after your last frost, so it works wherever you grow.

Sketch raised beds and in-ground rows square by square, look up spacing and good plant neighbors, then count back to the exact week to start each seed. Through the season, simple logs keep track of watering, pests, harvests and spending. Filled examples show how every page works.

A thoughtful winter-planning gift for anyone who grows tomatoes on the patio or a whole backyard plot.
