Succession planting calculator
The classic beginner mistake is sowing a whole packet of lettuce at once, then drowning in it for two weeks and having none for the rest of summer. The fix is succession sowing: a little, often. Pick a crop and when you want to start, and this spaces out repeat sowings so you get a steady supply instead of a glut.
Pick a crop and your first sowing date to build a schedule.
Intervals are sensible starting points; nudge them to your climate and how fast you eat a crop. Stop sowing heat-lovers well before your first autumn frost, and cool-season crops through the hottest weeks - they bolt. Pair this with the seed-starting chart for germination temperatures and the frost-date sowing calendar for the season's bookends.
