Your frost dates, found for you

Rachel's four words
Dream. Plan. Plant. Reflect.
Rachel has taught the garden in these four steps for years. The Almanac gives each one a place to live, and carries what you learn from one season into the next.
Dream
Dream
Winter is for wanting things. Dream holds next season's intent, the packets you already own, and the windows that open soon.
Plan
This season's plan
Add a crop and its whole season arrives, from starting indoors through the last useful harvest day.
Plant
Beds
Beds hold what is actually growing, in the areas you actually have, down to the pots on the porch.
Reflect
Reflect
Close the season with what thrived and what did not. Next year's plan starts from your own record.
What the Almanac does
Timing you can trust, week by week.
Your garden lives on your device and works offline. Sign in with Apple only if you want a private backup that follows you to a new phone.
A short list of useful tasks
This Week holds the work that is worth doing now. Done, moved, skipped, and not for my garden are all normal answers.
The garden speaks first
An alert arrives when a change in the garden leads to a useful action. A cold night ahead of a tender crop. A planting window opening. A dry stretch that makes weeding easy.
Thirty crops with honest timing
Tomatoes, garlic, kale, sweet corn, strawberries and more, each with plain guidance and windows anchored to your own dates.
A well-loved garden journal that knows the date.

One task
Every crop
About the gardener
Changing the world one backyard garden at a time.
Rachel has gardened in South Carolina since 2018 and has wanted to teach it from the beginning. Her standing belief is that the best teacher is someone one or two steps ahead of you, because they remember exactly what your position feels like.
She shares the mistakes alongside the harvests, so new gardeners can see that a garden grows and flourishes long before anything about it is perfect.
