Postcode lookup is UK-only for now. Ireland and island users can still choose a region manually.
A free planting calendar starting in Carnoustie and Angus, now backed by postcode lookup, garden-condition checks, and UK, Ireland, and island region rules for sensible vegetables, herbs, and flowers.
Shift from summer planting into autumn leaves, winter brassicas, herbs, and saving seed from flowers that performed well in your conditions.
Garden conditions
Regional timing is active. Add garden conditions to refine frost, wind, drainage, and watering advice.
Filter down to the plants and jobs you actually want to do this month, then save only the useful actions.
Mid to late August
Sow in rows or modules for autumn leaves.
Cooler conditions suit spinach better than high summer.
Rotation: Avoid following beetroot or chard too often in small beds.
Watch: Sowing in hot weather when it wants cool conditions.
Plant sturdy young plants
Move into final spacing and net well.
Good winter structure crop for Angus gardens.
Rotation: Avoid old brassica ground to reduce clubroot and caterpillar pressure.
Watch: Forgetting bird and caterpillar netting while plants establish.
Now in free-draining pots
Plant in sun, trim lightly, and avoid wet compost.
Useful evergreen herb for small spaces.
Rotation: Drainage is more important than rotation for perennial thyme.
Watch: Putting it in rich wet compost.
Save seed on dry days
Let selected heads dry before collecting seed.
Keep seed from plants that coped with your wind and soil.
Rotation: Move annual flower patches if disease or poor growth appears.
Watch: Overfeeding, which makes soft leafy growth and fewer flowers.
Mid August onward
Sow into cooler soil for autumn leaves.
Autumn rocket is usually easier than summer rocket.
Rotation: Move repeat sowings if flea beetle pressure builds.
Watch: Sowing in hot dry spells without shade or water.
Early to mid August
Sow in rows or modules for late pulls.
Keep seedlings watered and thin enough for airflow.
Rotation: Move repeated crops if pests, disease, or weak growth appear.
Watch: Following the date without checking soil, shelter, and forecast.
August under cover
Sow in trays for autumn or spring container colour.
Cooler germination suits them better than hot windowsills.
Rotation: Refresh container compost before replanting seasonal displays.
Watch: Letting pots dry, then waterlog, through winter.
Late August if soil is prepared
Sow only into cleared, low-fertility ground.
Do not scatter seed into grass and expect a meadow; preparation is the crop.
Rotation: Move repeated crops if pests, disease, or weak growth appear.
Watch: Following the date without checking soil, shelter, and forecast.
My Garden
Keep manual planning free and local. Cross-device sync, AI drafts, and sensor sync stay off until the account backend is available and you choose to use it.
Local edits stay in this browser today. Cross-device sync, AI drafts, and sensor integrations need the account backend before data leaves the device.
AI will create a draft only after login, consent, retention rules, and deletion controls. It will never overwrite your layout without review.
Cross-device flow
Design on a laptop, check the plan on mobile, then use quiet product-library links only when a real garden job needs kit.
Observed from photos, video, or notes
Mark only what you know. The layout and recommendations stay calmer when uncertain signals stay unselected.
Plan snapshot
Start by marking what you can already see: sun, shade, wet soil, exposure, pots, or new borders.

Region coverage
Choose from 17 regional baselines. Each one shows its frost anchor, exposure note, moisture risk, and protection rule so the calendar stays useful without pretending every garden is identical.
Sensible plants for your region
The curated list favours plants that tolerate shorter seasons, exposure, containers, or repeat sowing. Shopping links use reviewed Amazon UK search results rather than stale prices or copied ratings.
Plant Mar-Apr; protect and earth up through Jun
A dependable staple for Angus beds and allotments, especially where soil is improved steadily.
Shop reviewed optionsSow Mar-Jul; plant out Jun-Aug
Cool-weather tolerant, productive through autumn and winter, and forgiving for beginners.
Shop reviewed optionsDirect sow Apr-Jul
Works well in short rows or deep containers when kept moist and covered.
Shop reviewed optionsSow Mar-Aug
Best treated as repeated small sowings so one windy or dry week does not ruin the crop.
Shop reviewed optionsSow Mar-Jul
Copes with cooler summers and gives repeated harvests from pots or bed edges.
Shop reviewed optionsPlant late spring-summer
Useful in coastal gardens if roots stay free-draining and plants avoid the worst wind.
Shop reviewed optionsSow Mar-Jun or Aug-Sep
Tough, bright, self-seeding, and useful for beginner pollinator patches.
Shop reviewed optionsSow Mar-May, early Jun, or autumn
A simple hardy annual for bees, cut flowers, and low-cost colour.
Shop reviewed optionsPlant container-grown clumps spring-summer
A natural match for breezy coastal edges, gritty soil, and small front gardens.
Shop reviewed optionsPlant after cold wet weather has passed

For sowing windows, protected starts, and gardens with shorter seasons.
The most valuable kit in windy, frosty, wet, or wildlife-heavy gardens.
Useful when the garden image shows poor soil, wet ground, or patio growing.
Most important in containers, dry south-east gardens, and windy coastal sites.
Only the useful basics: prepare, plant, label, water, and protect.
