Start with the calendar
Every guide begins with when the crop can be sown, planted out and harvested in each zone group, and where it will not finish a season outdoors. We write those limits into the opening of the guide rather than burying them, and show them in a planting calendar you can read at a glance.
Where the facts come from
- University extension publications and government plant-hardiness data
- Seed-house and nursery information, including variety descriptions and days to maturity
- Grower forums, treated as reports of experience rather than proof
When sources disagree we say so and explain which we trust and why. Sources are listed at the end of each guide.
Review before publishing
Each guide is read for accuracy, clarity and unsupported claims before it goes live, and revisited when new information changes the advice.
What we don’t claim
We don’t invent statistics, yields or personal growing histories. If we have not grown a crop ourselves we do not write as if we had; products are only marked “tested” when they have been.
