Happy Labor Day Weekend!

This weekend traditionally marks a changing of the seasons, as we close summer and begin the transition to autumn and winter. It’s also a season mixed with both hard work (finishing those late-season harvest and preservation projects) and reflection (looking at everything God provided through the year).

To celebrate those natural rhythms in the garden (and all of your hard work you did there during the summer!)...we’re offering a Labor Day Sale, this weekend only.

Our Fall Planting Calculator allows you to input your First Average Frost Date and then calculates the following for 40 types of crops:

• For plants that need to be started as seedlings, then transplanted into the garden, the latest Indoor Start Date
• For plants that are direct seeded, the latest date to plant them outdoors
• For seedlings, the latest transplant date
• Calculates with and without season extension
• Based on the current date, it tells you whether you can still plant this crop or not

To get your free calculator on seed orders of $40+, use this coupon code: LaborDay2024

Note: This coupon code cannot be combined with any other offers. Limit one use per customer.

We offer a growing collection of books to help you through the whole year: from planning your plot, to growing your crops, to preserving your vegetables, to extending your harvest & beyond! 

Why physical books? You will always have these handy, with or without internet access, and can build a valuable library for your family and community to enjoy. Not much beats reading a real book before bed and dreaming of brighter days ahead.

Spread your love of gardening & productive skills with these beautiful T-shirts.

What gardener doesn’t need more seeds? 😉 You could always use a few more things for planting in your fall or winter garden, getting a head start on the next season, or giving to new gardening friends.

Additional Helpful Resources for You:

Fall gardening poses some challenges and timing constraints, so we’ve published a blog series on the topic. It covers all of the details fall gardeners need to know, including soil, location, and space considerations, laying out a new fall garden, calculating important dates, using season extension, and more.

Do you need specific ideas for WHAT to plant in your fall garden?

To help make planning that garden easy, I’ve created a FREE Fall Planting Calculator that will help you determine exactly which crops you can still plant and what the latest date is that you can plant them and still enjoy a harvest before fall sets in and it’s too cold. Plus, there’s a section that shows you how much extra time you get if you’re using a season extension method like a greenhouse or frost protection like mini-hoops and row covers.
