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.
November is a low-volume planting month. Focus on garlic, bare-root opportunities, sheltered herbs, and keeping beds stable through wind and rain.
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.
Any workable mild spell
Plant cloves in raised beds, pots, or well-drained soil.
If soil is sticky or flooded, wait for a better day or use containers.
Rotation: Avoid following onions, leeks, shallots, or garlic.
Watch: Planting in wet compacted soil without drainage.
Pick as needed
Take outer leaves and leave the growing point intact.
Check stakes and netting after windy nights.
Rotation: Avoid old brassica ground to reduce clubroot and caterpillar pressure.
Watch: Forgetting bird and caterpillar netting while plants establish.
Before hard weather
Move pots against a sheltered wall and avoid saucers of water.
Cold wet compost is more dangerous than cold air alone.
Rotation: Use gritty compost and free-draining positions rather than rich wet beds.
Watch: Leaving pots in saucers through wet weather.
Dormant season, mild days
Plant into improved soil and water in well.
Choose sheltered positions in coastal gardens and avoid frozen ground.
Rotation: Move repeated crops if pests, disease, or weak growth appear.
Watch: Following the date without checking soil, shelter, and forecast.
After autumn sowing
Thin crowded seedlings and protect trays from storms.
Do not overwater modules during dull weather.
Rotation: Move annual flower patches if disease or poor growth appears.
Watch: Overfeeding, which makes soft leafy growth and fewer flowers.
November is ideal
Plant deep in pots or free-draining borders.
Later planting can reduce disease risk and suits spring containers.
Rotation: Move repeated crops if pests, disease, or weak growth appear.
Watch: Following the date without checking soil, shelter, and forecast.
Early November if not done
Plant promptly while soil is still workable.
Earlier is better, but late planting is preferable to leaving bulbs in packets.
Rotation: Move repeated crops if pests, disease, or weak growth appear.
Watch: Following the date without checking soil, shelter, and forecast.
After foliage dies back
Tidy pots, divide congested clumps only in mild spells, and avoid waterlogging.
Hardy clumps return reliably if crowns do not sit wet.
Rotation: Divide congested clumps rather than replacing every year.
Watch: Letting pots sit waterlogged through winter.
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
Strong pollinator value, but only if drainage and shelter are good enough.

Useful when the calendar says sow or plant, not a substitute for checking timing.
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.
