If you’re eager to start a garden but feel overwhelmed by the planning process, we have just the tool for you. Our Seed Starting Organizer Chart is a free, downloadable resource to help you stay organized and on track with your seed-starting process.

We understand that starting a garden can be daunting, especially if you’re new to gardening. That’s why we created this chart to simplify the planning process and make it more approachable. Our Seed Starting Organizer Chart lets you easily plan and track your garden, ensuring your plants get the care and attention they need to thrive. It includes all the information you need to get started, including growing zone, last frost date, plant name, whether to start indoors or outdoors, number of weeks before frost, seed depth, sow date, number of seeds to plant, and transplant date. Let’s take a closer look at each section:

Growing zone: Your growing zone is determined by the average minimum temperature in your area. It’s important to know your growing zone when selecting plants for your garden because it determines the plants most likely to thrive in your climate. You can easily find your growing zone by entering your zip code here.
Last frost date: The last frost date is the estimated date of the last spring frost in your area. Knowing this date is important because it guides you on when to start your seeds indoors or sow them outside. Starting seeds too early can result in leggy and weak seedlings, while sowing seeds outside too early can lead to frost damage or stunted growth. You can find your last frost date by entering your zip code here.
Plant name: The first column in the chart is for the name of the plant you want to grow. Choose plants that are suitable for your climate and soil type.
Start indoors: The second column indicates whether you should start the seeds indoors or outdoors. Some plants, such as tomatoes and peppers, benefit from an early start indoors. Others, like beans and squash, can be sown directly in the garden.
Number of weeks before frost: This column tells you how many weeks before the last frost date in your area you should start your seeds. This is important because it gives the seeds enough time to germinate and grow into sturdy seedlings before transplanting outside.
Seed depth: The fourth column indicates how deep to plant the seeds. As a general rule, smaller seeds should be planted closer to the surface, while larger seeds should be planted deeper.
Sow date: The sow date column tells you when to plant the seeds. This is usually based on the number of weeks before the last frost date and the plant’s growing requirements.
Number planted: This column tells you how many seeds to plant per pot or row. It’s important to sow the seeds at the correct density to avoid overcrowding and competition for resources.
Transplant date: The final column tells you when to transplant the seedlings into the garden. This is usually after the last frost date when the soil has warmed up and the weather has stabilized.

Using the Seed Starting Organizer Chart is easy. Start by identifying the plants you want to grow and checking their growing requirements. Then, find the appropriate row in the chart and follow the instructions for each column. For example, if you want to grow tomatoes and the last frost date in your area is April 15th, you might start the seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before that date, sow the seeds 1/4 inch deep on February 25th, plant 2-3 seeds per pot, and transplant the seedlings outdoors after April 15th.
