Know exactly when to sow, plant and pick.

Q: How do my plants get onto the calendar?

Save a bed in the Garden Designer with Active Tracking on. Every plant gets its sow, plant-out and harvest dates automatically — there is nothing to type.

Q: What’s the difference between Month, Season and Today?

Month is a classic calendar grid. Season shows one row per crop across the whole year, with your frost dates marked. Today lists just today’s jobs — handy for a big garden.

Q: What do “To do” and “Everything” mean?

To do (the default) shows only what needs doing each day — sowing, transplanting, harvest starting. Plants that are just growing fold into one line like “5 growing”. Everything draws every plant on every day.

Q: How do I see one bed only?

Use the All Beds picker at the top of the calendar and choose a bed.

Q: I planted on a different day. How do I fix it?

Tap the plant on the calendar, then Correct Date, and pick the real day. Every later date moves with it. This works while the plant is still at the Seeded stage.

Q: I pick every few days. How do I log that?

In My Plants, tap Log Harvest each time you pick — the plant keeps growing. When the crop is finished for good, tap Mark harvest done on the calendar and the space in the bed frees up.

Q: A plant died. Should I delete it?

No — tap it and choose Mark as lost. Say how many, why (heat, frost, pests, disease, watering, transplant shock, animals or not sure) and when. The history stays, so you learn from it. Sow again takes you straight back to that bed.

Q: How do I tell it a seed came up?

Tap the plant and Confirm germinated. Sowed a tray and only some are up? Tap Only some up… and log them one at a time — a chip like “2/12 up” keeps count.

Tell EdenVatika where you live. It works out your frost dates and turns them into a calendar for every plant in your garden — then moves the dates when real life happens.

Built from your frost dates

Your calendar starts with two dates: your last frost and your first.

Every day of the year gets a colour. Green is safe for planting. Yellow and orange are the weeks around a frost. Red is when only the toughest plants survive outside.

Then each plant gets its own start date, based on how much cold it can take.

Example: Zone 6b · last frost Mar 25 · first frost Nov 5

It fills itself in

Save a bed. Every date appears on its own.

When you save a bed in the Garden Designer, every plant lands on the calendar with its sow, plant-out and harvest dates. No typing, no spreadsheet.

To do shows only what needs doing each day, as a coloured bar — like “Kale · Harvest starts”.
Everything else folds into one line: “8 ready to pick”, “5 growing”.
Pick one bed or see all of them.

See the whole year

One row per crop. The whole season at a glance.

Switch to Season and every crop becomes one line across the year: started indoors, growing, then harvest. Your frost dates are the red dashed lines, and today is the black one.

Gaps jump out — that’s where the next sowing goes.

Month — the classic calendar grid.
Season — the whole year, one row per crop.
Today — just today’s jobs, for a busy garden.

The Season view of the EdenVatika Planting Calendar: one row per crop from January to December — peas, radish, beans, tomato, lettuce, onion, spinach and more — with started-indoors, growing and harvest-window bars, red dashed frost-date lines and a black line for today

Every plant has a story

Tap any plant to follow it from seed to harvest.

Each plant has a timeline: started, sprouted, transplanted, ready to pick, done. You see what’s expected and when — “Harvest ready: expected Oct 11, about 87 days from seeding”.

Plants never follow the book exactly. When you confirm a stage on the real day, every later date moves to match.

Sowed on a different day? Correct Date moves everything — free.
Confirm sprouted, transplanted and ready-to-pick as they happen — Pro.
Sowed a tray and only some came up? Count them seed by seed: “2/12 up” — Pro.

When things go wrong

Lost a plant? Record it — don’t delete it.

Every gardener loses plants. Tap Mark as lost, say how many and why, and add a note for next year. The history stays, so next season you know what to watch for.

And if a harvest window closed two weeks ago with nothing logged, Needs attention asks what happened — so your beds and your numbers stay honest.

Plan aheadPro

A steady harvest instead of 40 lettuces in one week.

Tap a future day to plan a planting. Switch on Succession Planting and it spaces sowings 1 to 4 weeks apart — up to 8 of them — so the harvest keeps coming.

Each planned date tells you when to start seeds and checks it against your frost dates first.

What’s next?Pro

Finish a crop. Get told what to plant in its place.

When you mark a harvest done, the calendar suggests what to grow next in that spot — crops that are safe to follow for rotation, and that will ripen before your first frost. Each one says when to start its seeds, so they’re ready the day the bed is free.

Tap one and it opens the Garden Designer with that crop ready to place.

It learns your gardenPro

After a few seasons, the dates are yours — not the seed packet’s.

Every garden is different. As you log harvests, the calendar measures how long each crop really takes for you.

Grow a crop 5 times and it blends your timing with the textbook. From 11 times on, it uses yours alone.

Guide

Planting Calendar, how do I…?

Short answers. Tap a question.

Where do my frost dates come from? +

From your location. When you set it up, EdenVatika finds your hardiness zone and fills in your last spring frost and first fall frost. You can change either date in Settings if you know your area better.

How do my plants get onto the calendar? +

Save a bed in the Garden Designer with Active Tracking on. Every plant gets its sow, plant-out and harvest dates automatically — there is nothing to type.

What’s the difference between Month, Season and Today? +

Month is a classic calendar grid. Season shows one row per crop across the whole year, with your frost dates marked. Today lists just today’s jobs — handy for a big garden.

What do “To do” and “Everything” mean? +

To do (the default) shows only what needs doing each day — sowing, transplanting, harvest starting. Plants that are just growing fold into one line like “5 growing”. Everything draws every plant on every day.

How do I see one bed only? +

Use the All Beds picker at the top of the calendar and choose a bed.

I planted on a different day. How do I fix it? +

Tap the plant on the calendar, then Correct Date, and pick the real day. Every later date moves with it. This works while the plant is still at the Seeded stage.

I pick every few days. How do I log that? +

In My Plants, tap Log Harvest each time you pick — the plant keeps growing. When the crop is finished for good, tap Mark harvest done on the calendar and the space in the bed frees up.

A plant died. Should I delete it? +

No — tap it and choose Mark as lost. Say how many, why (heat, frost, pests, disease, watering, transplant shock, animals or not sure) and when. The history stays, so you learn from it. Sow again takes you straight back to that bed.

What is “Needs attention”? +

Plants whose harvest window closed more than 14 days ago but were never marked as harvested or lost. Tap Review, say what happened, and your beds and yield numbers stay accurate.

How do I tell it a seed came up? Pro +

Tap the plant and Confirm germinated. Sowed a tray and only some are up? Tap Only some up… and log them one at a time — a chip like “2/12 up” keeps count.

How do I plan something for later? Pro +

In Month view, tap a future day. In Today view, tap Plan a planting. Pick the plant, bed and quantity — the calendar adds the dates and the reminders.

How do I keep lettuce coming all season? Pro +

When you plan a planting, switch on Succession Planting. Choose every 1, 2, 3 or 4 weeks and 2 to 8 plantings. You see a preview of every date before you add them.

How do I print my calendar? Pro +

Tap Print, choose a season or all years, and whether to include finished plants. Then print it or save it as a PDF.

What happens to perennials in winter? Pro +

When you finish a perennial for the year it goes Dormant instead of being removed, and stays in the bed. In spring, tap Start new season.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Do I need to know my hardiness zone?

No. Set your location and EdenVatika works it out, along with your frost dates. It works in both the northern and southern hemispheres.

Does it remind me when it’s time to do something?

Yes. Saving a bed adds sowing, watering, feeding and picking jobs to your To-Do List, and you can turn on push notifications with a daily reminder time.

My plants grow slower than the seed packet says. Will it adjust?

With Pro, yes. Once you’ve grown a crop 5 times, the calendar blends your own average time-to-harvest with the textbook. From 11 times on, it uses yours alone.

What happens to annual flowers after the first frost?

They’re cleared from your beds automatically once your first fall frost has passed, so the space frees up for next season. Your history is kept.

Is the Planting Calendar free?

Yes. The calendar, all three views, frost-zone colours, correcting dates, logging harvests and recording losses are free. Pro adds planning ahead, succession planting, confirming each growth stage, “what to plant next”, harvest timing learned from your garden, and printing.
