The Planting Calendar · No. 1

Every month you wonder what to plant. Here is the answer, for your zone.

A month-by-month planting guide for container gardeners who want a patio that's alive in every season — vegetables, herbs and greens, all from pots. No confusing charts, no gardening jargon. Just clear timing that tells you what to plant, and when, so every pot earns its space.

Inside: a simple month-by-month calendar for sowing, planting and harvesting, the best crops for each part of the year, when to start seeds indoors versus straight in the pot, and quick “start this now” reminders. 181 large-print pages, easy on the eyes, for a full and productive container garden.

Questions

Asked before buying

Is this a printed book?

No. It's a digital book — a PDF you download straight away. Nothing comes in the mail. Read it on a phone, tablet or computer, or print the pages you want at home. The type is set large on purpose, so printed pages are easy to read outside.

How do I get it?

The moment you pay, a download button appears on your screen, and a copy is emailed to you as well. If you lose it, just write to us and we'll send it again.

Will the dates suit where I live?

Every month is split into cold zones (3–5), middle zones (6–7) and warm zones (8–10), and each crop page lists its months for all three. The book also shows you how to line the calendar up with your own frost dates, because those matter more than the month.

I have only a windowsill. Is it still useful?

Yes. There's a windowsill crop for every month of the year, and the crop pages tell you the smallest pot each vegetable will accept.

Can I print it?

Yes — all of it, or just the pages you need. The 12 monthly checklists and the Pot & Frost Chart are made for printing.

Will you charge me again later?

No. One payment, no subscription, and updates to the book are free for anyone who has bought it.
