A SEASON TO BEGIN
A calendar for your garden.

How to read the calendar
This is an estimate from historical climate, rather than a forecast for this year or a calendar for your variety. We compare three starting dates per month (5, 15 and 25) with cold and time to grow. A favourable month doesn’t guarantee that every day will be suitable. To decide about today, check the weather forecast too.
Air temperature records don’t measure the soil: check its warmth before sowing or planting. Indoor sowing assumes around 22 °C and plenty of light; we consider the climate at the later transplanting time. For perennials, garlic and artichokes we only assess establishment. Variety, chilling requirements, day length and local conditions need separate checks.

ADVICE WITH ROOTS
Nature doesn’t follow
the same calendar everywhere.
Your location helps us work out when to start.
Three things matter more than the month on the calendar.
The right place
Location and local climate: a mountain garden has a different rhythm from a seaside balcony.
The right moment
The coming days’ temperatures help us consider sprouting, cold and heat.
Time to grow
Recent climate records help us consider the time until harvest, or while a plant settles in.
