🌱 GrowGuide Almanac

When to plant, anywhere in America 🌱

Local frost dates, planting calendars & climate normals for every U.S. city. Real frost dates, USDA zones and month-by-month weather for 916 U.S. cities — one page, three public datasets combined.

Most "when to plant" tools give you one number. GrowGuide combines the 2023 USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map, NOAA 1991–2020 frost-date normals, and NOAA monthly climate normals into a single, honest local page for your city — your hardiness zone, your average last & first frost, your growing-season length, a month-by-month weather table, and a crop-by-crop planting schedule computed from your frost dates.

How it works

Every city page is generated from public-domain government data — nothing invented. We show the nearest weather station and how far it is, and label frost dates as the 50%-probability date so you know exactly how precise the numbers are. Guidance is advisory: adjust for your own microclimate.
