Seed starting planner printable with sowing schedule and tray maps

This seed starting planner printable helps you keep track of every packet, count back from your last frost and follow each tray from sowing to planting out. The 14 undated pages hold a seed inventory, a weekly sowing schedule, tray maps, a germination tracker, a hardening off plan and logs for saving and swapping seed. It comes as a PDF in US Letter and A4, available instantly.

Fewer forgotten trays, healthier seedlings and a garden that starts on time.

How the seed starting planner printable keeps sowing on schedule

Add your own last frost date, then use the weekly schedule and the typical timing guide to know when tomatoes, peppers or onions should begin indoors and when carrots and beans go straight into the ground. Map every cell in two 72 cell trays so you always know what is coming up where, and fill in a circle the day each seed sprouts.

A 10 day hardening off plan and a seedling checklist help young plants make the move to the garden, and the pages can be printed again every season.

Who this seed starting log is for

• New gardeners sowing seeds indoors for the very first time
• Flower and vegetable growers with a box overflowing with packets
• Seed savers and swappers who like tidy records
• Gardeners anywhere, because you add your own zone and frost dates

Design and printing

• Gentle blush pink accents on clean white pages, light on ink
• Wide margins on every side, so nothing is cut off by a home printer
• Portrait pages in US Letter (8.5 by 11 inches) and A4 (210 by 297 millimeters)
• Undated and not tied to any region, so you can begin in any season
• Clip it to a board, file it in a ring binder or have a copy shop spiral bind it
