What's inside the calendar

Every guide you have 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 10-11, 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.

From Jermaine Jefferson, GrowFitFL. I grow food on a quarter acre in West Central Florida, Zone 10a. The food forest feeds my family of six year round. I wrote three books on growing 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's 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.
