Garden Gameplan · Print Edition
Grow your own groceries.
And become the gardener you've always wanted to be.
A printed coach, made for your exact location, that walks you through the year — one week, one month, one year at a time.
A Season Most Gardeners Don't Even Know Exists
You can plant twice. Most people don't know that.
Spring isn't the only growing season. If a second planting season is possible where you live, your coach shows you exactly when. Lettuce in October. Spinach in November. Kale that gets sweeter after the first frost.
You'll still be harvesting when your neighbors have given up.
A next-level garden produces twice. That's the difference between a summer hobby and actual groceries.
Each Month
Your coach doesn't disappear between weeks.
Each month opens with focus areas, frost watch, and the crops you're tending. Then there's space to track feeding, look back, and write down what you noticed.
Open the month with focus.
Each month begins with what to expect, the crops actively growing, and the frost or heat thresholds to watch — so you know where to put your attention.
Never forget to feed your plants.
A simple monthly checkbox grid for fertilizer, compost, and feeding routines. Cross them off as you go. Your tomatoes will notice.
A place to write down what worked.
End-of-month reflection prompts — wins, surprises, what you'd do differently. So next year's gardener has notes from this year's gardener.
Your year, not just your growing season.
Hoses away before the freeze. Garlic in October. Mulch in November. Tools cleaned in December. Your coach keeps you on top of every gardening month — not just the ones with tomatoes.
All Year
The book that grows with you and saves what you learned.
Thoughtful front and back pages that turn a planner into a companion — the kind of book gardeners pull off the shelf in January to plan the next year.
See your whole year at a glance.
A year-on-one-page calendar, a high/low temperature chart for your location, and a planting chart showing every crop's spring and fall windows — with a note next to each one explaining when and why. The big picture, printed once, never lost in a tab.
Sketch your garden before you plant it.
Quarter-inch grid pages for drawing your beds, your rows, your succession plantings. Sketch it before you plant, redo it when your plans change, mark up what worked. It's your book.
End the year knowing exactly what to do next.
A "What I Grew" harvest tracker. "My Wins" and "What I Learned" reflection pages. Notes from current you to your future self — so next year, you know exactly what to do differently.
Late Spring
Spring planting is done. Now comes the part most gardeners get wrong.
Spring is the easy part. Summer care, feeding schedules, watering through heat, what to harvest when, when to start fall crops — that's where most gardens go sideways. Your coach walks you through it, one week at a time.

The advice isn't wrong. It's just not for you.
What Changes Now
You're not behind. The advice just wasn't for your exact location.
That's what Garden Gameplan is — a printed coach, made for your exact location, that walks you through the year one week at a time.
Open it Sunday morning with your coffee. Look at what it suggests. Then go outside and actually enjoy your garden.
When Should You Start?
Your year starts when you say it does.
You choose when your year begins. Tell us March, your book starts in March. Tell us August, it starts in August. Fifty-two weeks of coaching, beginning whenever you say.
Gardening is a constant practice. So is your coach.
A Common Worry
“It's already May. I missed planting. Right?”
Wrong. Most American climates have a second growing season — and right now is when you plan it. Fall crops start in seed trays in June. Lettuce and spinach go in the ground in August. Kale gets sweeter after the first frost in October.
And the book doesn't stop when the planting does. Your coach tells you when to put your hoses away before the freeze, when to mulch the perennials, when to plant garlic for next July, when to oil your tools before winter. The garden has a year. So does your coach.
You're not late. You're early — for the season most gardeners don't even know exists.
Each Week
What your coach recommends every Sunday morning.
Each week of your year gets its own spread — what the week's about, what to do, what to plant, what your weather usually looks like this week, what to cook, and answers to the questions you haven't asked yet.
01 / What Your Coach Does
Know what to do for the week when you have a moment here or there.
Open the book and find the date range, a short note about what 's happening in your garden this week, and a checklist of the few things that actually matter.
No overwhelm. Just the week you're in, written for your climate, with room to mark off what you did.
02 / What Your Coach Knows
“Zone 7” covers eight states. This book covers your garden's address.
“Zone 7” stretches across eight states with wildly different climates. Your Garden Gameplan is built around your actual climate — your frost dates, your weather patterns, the rhythm of your specific location.
Every week tells you exactly what's plantable, what to watch for, and what to do in your specific climate — not generic advice meant for someone gardening 1,800 miles away.
03 / What Your Coach Watches
The frost won't surprise you this year. Or ever again.
Every week shows what your weather usually looks like this time of year — typical highs and lows from real historical data. So when this week's forecast looks weird, you'll know whether weird means “normal for your climate” or “actually unusual.”
When frost or freeze is a real risk, your coach calls it out specifically — calculated from your nearest weather station and analyzed for your elevation, because a garden at 6,000 feet doesn't behave like one at sea level. Probability bands tell you whether the risk is “definitely happening” or “just keep an eye on it.”
No more planting too early because someone on Facebook said April was fine. No more losing tomatoes to a late frost. You'll know your numbers.
04 / What Your Coach Cooks
Turn your harvest into tonight's dinner.
Every weekly page closes with a recipe that matches what your garden is giving you that week — fresh in summer, stored or dried in winter. Roasted beets in October. Tomato galette in August. A pot of soup made from your fall pantry in January.
It's the part you've been daydreaming about — walking out, snipping what you need, and feeling accomplished and fancy.
05 / What Your Coach Answers
Every weird question, answered before you Google it.
Every week has a “You might be asking…” section that anticipates the question your garden is about to make you ask. Not random gardening trivia — the question that fits where you are this week.
“How do I tell when soil has crossed from nicely damp into waterlogged?” “What does it mean when my pepper leaves curl?” “Is it too late to plant kale?” You don't have to be an expert. Your coach already worked it out for you.
When Something Goes Wrong
Something looks weird? Flip to the back.
Quick Fixes

Plus a Glossary so the vocabulary stops being intimidating, and a Know Your Numbers reference for every temperature threshold that matters. You don't have to memorize anything. It's all in the same book.
