A gardener planting fall seedlings in a raised bed

For gardeners who want this year to be different

It was not you.
It was the dates.

Seeds started 3 weeks late. Transplants set out into a surprise frost. A second sowing that never happened. Most gardens fail from wrong planting dates, not lazy owners. PlotToTable turns 30 years of NOAA frost records for your ZIP into a plant-by date for every crop you eat.

Where the season leaks

Three weeks late costs you three weeks of picking.

Started indoors too late

Tomatoes stop at first frost no matter when you plant. Every week late at the start is a week of harvest gone at the end.

Transplanted into a frost

One warm April week fools everyone. Then a 30 degree night takes the whole tray. Your ZIP's real last-frost date is a matter of record.

The second sowing that never happened

Lettuce bolts, beans finish, and the bed sits empty from July on. The plan schedules round two before round one is done.

The honest part

Most first gardens only break even. Now you know why.

It is not the soil, and it is not your thumb. It is that half the season gets lost to wrong dates and empty beds. Fix the calendar and the same beds pay. Gardeners surveyed in 2024 reported saving an average of $875 on groceries in an AP-syndicated survey. Your plan shows your own number, crop by crop.

Who built this

Built by one gardener who kept missing his dates.

I lost two seasons to planting on the wrong week before I wrote a line of this planner. PlotToTable is young, so I will not show you a wall of five-star quotes. I would rather show you my math: the frost dates are NOAA's, the prices are the store's, and the refund is real.
