Calendar
GardenTrack lays out your season, counted from your own frost dates.
Every plant gets a bar across your season. In late summer, GardenTrack tells you what you can still plant.

Saturday, July 25
GardenTrack puts your whole season on one screen, with your frost dates marked.
Each plant gets a bar, bed by bed, from sowing through the stages GardenTrack expects. A line shows where today falls.
Here the last frost is about May 4 and the first about October 10, both worked out for this spot rather than read off a zone map. Under a bed with room to spare, it says how much, like room for about 30 sq ft, with a link to see what fits.
Saturday · 9:40 AM
GardenTrack sorts every job into what’s due today and what can wait.
Tap the checklist icon for Tasks, and the jobs come in groups, with today’s near the top and the ones that can go any day underneath.
This morning it’s watering the bean pot and two beds, plus a heads-up that today’s the last sowing of the year for bush beans and summer squash. Anything that slipped past its day sits on top under Overdue, so it doesn’t get lost.
The next few weeks
GardenTrack spots the busy week before it gets here.
At the bottom of your tasks, tap See what the weeks ahead will cost. It shows the coming weeks as bars and names the one that stacks up.
Here it’s the week of August 1, with about 15 jobs, more than twice an ordinary week in this garden. Tap a week and it says roughly how long its jobs will take, so you can knock one or two out early instead of losing a Saturday to it.
Late July
It’s late July, and GardenTrack works out what you can still plant.
Tap Still fits and GardenTrack counts the weeks left before your first frost, then lists what can still make it, choosing the crops you eat before anything else and sorting them by the last day to plant.
Here that’s 11 weeks to an October 10 frost. Cucumbers have until tomorrow and bush beans until July 31, while lettuce and spinach can wait into September. Tap one, pick the bed, and GardenTrack works out how many fit and puts them on your calendar.
Late July · Same morning
GardenTrack spaces out your next sowings, so the lettuce doesn’t all come at once.
Tap the ⋯ on a plant’s row, then Add succession, and say how many weeks apart and how many more.
Ask for six more sowings, two weeks apart, after the lettuce already planned for August 8. GardenTrack lays out August 22 and September 5, then tells you straight that only two still finish before your frost. One more tap and they go on the calendar with their own bars.
All year
GardenTrack gives your raspberries a calendar too, one that comes back around every year.
Trees, bushes and canes don’t race the frost, so GardenTrack draws their year as a wheel, with today’s place on it.
The colors show when they’re filling out, cropping and resting, and their yearly jobs land in your tasks when they’re due. Late to one? Tap the link under the wheel, and GardenTrack sorts the yearly jobs into do these now, gone for this year and still plenty of time.
