Pick a crop and enter your ZIP code to get a sowing schedule for this season. Planting a little every week or two – instead of everything at once – stretches your harvest over a much longer stretch.
How it’s figured
First sowing = your average last spring frost plus the crop’s usual direct-sow offset from the shared Pot and Plot crop dataset (typical ranges, not guarantees). Sowings repeat every 10 to 21 days depending on the crop – a common succession rhythm for these fast growers. Last safe sowing = your average first fall frost minus the crop’s days to maturity minus a 14-day buffer. Only dates still ahead of you are shown, capped at 8 sowings. Frost dates are long-term averages from the nearest of 85 reporting cities – station data, not your exact yard, so microclimates and elevation can shift real dates.
