About Fall Planting Calculator

Fall gardening is a race against the frost. You must plant early enough for crops to mature, but late enough to avoid summer heat.

The Strategy

Take "Days to Maturity" + "Short Day Factor" (adds ~14 days due to less sun). Count backward from your average First Frost date.

How to Use

Enter your First Frost Date and the Crop's Days to Maturity. The tool gives you the "Sow By" date.
