What's inside the calendar

Every guide you tried was written for a place with a real winter and an easy summer. This one was built for our heat, our humidity, and our frost math.

Planting windows for 80+ cropsVegetables, herbs, fruits, and perennial food crops, each with the exact months to plant in your zone, from the Upper South to the frost-free coast.
Frost dates by regionFirst and last frost for Zones 7b, 8, 9, and 10 to 11, so a surprise February freeze never wipes out your work again.
The two-garden secretThe South gives you two growing seasons a year. Most beginners only plant once. The calendar shows you how to run both and double your harvest.
Crops that are hard to killSweet potatoes, okra, collards, Seminole pumpkin, and more. Win first, then expand.

Food you grow is food that works for you

Growing your own is the simplest way to eat cleaner and move more. You do not need a gym membership or a garden degree. You need to plant at the right time.

Picked at peak ripenessFood from your yard goes from soil to plate the same day, not a week on a truck. Fresher food, more flavor, more reason to eat it.
No mystery spraysYou decide what goes on what you eat. Nothing you cannot pronounce, nothing you did not choose.
Movement built inTending a garden a few times a week is real movement that fits a real life. Grow food and get fit doing it.

From Jermaine Jefferson, GrowFitFL. I spent 11 years as a certified personal trainer before I ever filled a raised bed. I grow food on a quarter acre in West Central Florida, Zone 10a, and the food forest feeds my family of six year round. I wrote three books on growing and living well in this climate, and this is the exact calendar I plant by. It used to be Florida only. I rebuilt it for the whole South, sorted by zone, so it works whether you garden in Tennessee or the Keys. It is free. Take it.

Stop losing seasons to the wrong map

Planting at the wrong time is the number one reason Southern gardens fail. The calendar fixes that this week, for free.
