Is this really free?
Yes. The calendar on this page is free to use as often as you like. The printable starter guide is emailed to you in exchange for your email — no payment, no credit card.
How accurate are the frost dates?
Frost dates come from the weather station closest to your ZIP code, using thirty years of historical data. We show you the typical date plus the early and late ranges, so you know how much variability to plan around.
Will this work for any U.S. ZIP code?
Almost all of them. The system covers nearly every U.S. ZIP through NOAA station coverage. If yours doesn't resolve cleanly, we'll let you know.
Why do you ask for my email?
The calendar on this page works without an email. We ask for an email so we can send you the printable starter guide. You can unsubscribe anytime, and we'll never sell your information.
Is this the same as the Garden Gameplan book?
No. The book is a printed 190-page planner with 52 weeks of guidance, recipes, and answers to the questions your garden will make you ask. This free calendar is a sampler. If you love it, the full planner is linked above.
