Garden Planner
Lay out a raised bed the square-foot way, drop in what you want to grow, and every plant tells you when to start it, set it out, and pick it, computed for your exact place from 30-year Environment and Climate Change Canada frost normals. Saved to this page, never to an account.
Set your place above and every plant gets its own dates for your nearest official station.
Pick a plant above, then tap squares to fill them. Tap a filled square to read its dates.
Your planting plan
Dates are 30-year averages for your nearest station. Local elevation, slope, and a warm wall can shift them a week or two. Half of years see frost later than the average, so give tender plants a few days past the last-frost date.
How the square-foot method works
Divide a raised bed into one-foot squares and plant by count, not rows: one tomato, pepper, or cabbage per square; four lettuces or chard; nine bush beans, beets, or onions; sixteen carrots or radishes. It packs more into less space, shades out weeds, and makes a bed easy to plan one square at a time. This planner pairs that layout with the one thing a spacing chart cannot know, the frost calendar of your own town, so every square carries real dates instead of a generic "spring."
It runs entirely in your browser. Your layout saves to this page's address, so the Copy share link button hands someone the exact bed you built. Nothing is stored on a server, there is no sign-up, and the planner works the same in a private window.
