How it works

  1. Tell us your zone

    Enter your ZIP and we'll find your USDA hardiness zone, so every date and recommendation fits where you garden.

  2. Plan your beds

    Drag plants onto a grid. Rootplan sizes each plant's footprint and flags spacing, sun, and companion issues.

  3. Grow on schedule

    Get a personalized sow, transplant, and harvest calendar, and log what you do as the season unfolds.

  • USDA hardiness-zone-aware sow, transplant, and harvest dates
  • Your planting logs merged right into the schedule
  • Month grid and task list with one-click logging
