About In Good Soil

Seed, meet good soil.

In Good Soil exists to answer the gardener's oldest question — what should I be planting right now? Every date in our calendar is counted from your own frost dates, not someone else's: pick your zone once and the whole year arranges itself around it.

The calendar is free and works without an account. It covers zones 5a–9b with 37 crops, each with a growing guide written for real beds, real weather, and real seasons — when to start indoors, when to transplant, when to sow again for a second harvest. A free account simply keeps your field notes and custom crops with you on every device.

The same dates carry into harvest and preserving notes on the crop guides. The shop holds three kitchen e-books: wheat sourdough, gluten-free sourdough, and kombucha. A Sunday email still sends the week's planting list for your zone.

It's tended by one gardener in Tennessee, with help from friends. If something looks off — a date, a guide, a bug — write anytime: hello@ingoodsoil.com.

How we keep the lights on

Some links on this site — mostly in the Tool Shed — are affiliate links, meaning we earn a small commission if you buy through them, at no extra cost to you. We only list tools we'd lend a neighbor. The calendar is free either way, and always will be.
