Garden Almanac: Plant Guide

Gardens do not run on the calendar on your wall. They run on frost. The Garden Almanac turns your location into a real garden clock. It looks up your average last spring frost and first fall frost from 30 years of NOAA climate records, then times every crop to your dates, not your hardiness zone. Each week you get a short list of useful tasks. Not streaks, not reminders to open an app. Real work, timed well. Start the tomatoes indoors. Tuck the peppers in before Thursday's cold night. Sow the beans while the soil is finally warm. THE GARDEN SPEAKS FIRST Alerts arrive only when a garden change leads to a useful action. A frost that threatens an active crop. A planting window opening. A heat spell before your transplants have settled. A dry stretch that makes weeding easy. If nothing urgent happened, we leave you alone. 30 CROPS WITH HONEST TIMING Tomatoes, garlic, kale, sweet corn, strawberries and more, each with plain language guidance and planting windows anchored to your frost dates. Add a crop and its whole season lands on your plan. A GARDEN MEMORY THAT COMPOUNDS Keep a journal with photos, close out each season with what thrived and what did not, and plan next year from your own record instead of your best guess.
