App Description

This easy-to-use app creates a personalized seed planting calendar based on the average first fall frost in your garden. It originated on Skippy’s Vegetable Garden blog and has been tested and used world-wide by over 50,000 agricultural students and home gardeners. Skippy’s Vegetable Garden is an award winning blog: awarded Best Garden Blog by Horticultural Magazine and currently the # 1 “Vegetable Gardening Blog” on Google search.

If you plant seeds, this app will help you. It can be hard to get planting time from a seed packet. You have to count backwards using the days to maturity number and your frost dates to figure out the calendar date. With several seed packets, this gets confusing. Skippy's App solves this.

Skippy's App is designed for gardeners all over the world. It is effective anywhere with four seasons, a cool winter, and an average first and last frost date. Through research and our own experience, we've collected data for the optimum planting times for 30 fall vegetables. The app does the work of creating a fall planting calendar. It lists sowing, transplanting, and succession planting dates.

The app is easy-to-use and practical. It’s add-free. No in-app purchases. No silly distracting graphics. And it’s actively supported by gardeners with regular updates. If you have a question or suggestion, you can visit skippysgarden.com and email us.

How does it work? Select the crops you want to grow. Add your garden’s frost date. The app will create a calendar for your chosen crops. You can view your planting tasks by the week or scroll through the entire season. Once set up, the app opens to display the current week with your current planting tasks. If planting season hasn't started yet, it will show your first task coming up.

Give it a try. We're sure that Skippy's App will simplify your seed sowing.
