Creating Your Garden Calendar - Ep. 285

My Plan Like A Pro Course is Open for Registration: ⁠⁠https://justgrowsomethingpodcast.com/pro⁠⁠

If you’ve ever gone into a Facebook gardening group and asked, “When am I supposed to plant this?” and then gotten ten different answers, you are not alone.

And if you’ve ever started seeds too early, ended up with giant leggy plants taking over your house, and then still got hit with a late cold snap? Also not alone.

Today on Just Grow Something we’re going to make garden timing feel simple, flexible, and predictable.

I’m going to show you how to build a planting calendar using frost dates as your starting point, then layering in:

• cool-season versus warm-season timing,

• how many weeks to start seeds indoors,

• a buffer for weather variability,

• and how to plan your fall garden by counting backward from your first frost.

This is one of those “once you understand it, you can reuse it forever” skills.

Let's dig in.
