Garden Planners

Undated Planting Calendar, Sowing Log and Harvest Journal, one edition for each region.

Most garden planners are blank books with a calendar in them. These are built from the Planting Season calendar for each region, so every month opens with what to sow, what to plant out, what to pick and what to watch for where you garden. The facing pages are yours to write in.

Why a planner for each region

Australia gardens in five climates, and the same seed packet is sown in different months in each. Tomatoes go in during the dry season in Darwin and after the frosts in Hobart, so one national planner would be wrong for most of the country most of the time.

Each edition is the same 162-page book with its own region's pages: the month calendar pages, the region page with its microclimates, the sowing year at a glance, the quick chart and the symptoms chart.

Which edition is mine?

Each card above lists the places its calendar is set for. If you are not sure, enter your postcode on Find My Region and it will name your Planting Season region. If you garden across a boundary, use the later date in the book.

Eight pages for every month: the region's pre-printed calendar page, a Monday-start month grid with three jobs, week by week, a sowed and planted log, a bed plan spread, harvest and problems, and notes.
Two whole-garden bed map spreads on a fine grid, a year planner with a line a day, a crop rotation planner and a sun and shade map.
A six-page seed inventory, 48 numbered plant profiles with an index, three years of rain, frost and heat records, and two season reviews.
A reader code for three months of Planting Season Pro in the app.
162 pages, 8 x 10 in, undated: a printable PDF in full colour with the cover as page 1, or a paperback in black ink on white paper with a matte cover.

Want it to lie flat? Add a spiral

Amazon prints this planner as a paperback with a glued spine, and print on demand offers no spiral or lay-flat binding. Many planner buyers take theirs to an office supply or print shop and pay to have the glued spine cut off and a spiral or coil binding put on. The inner margin on every page is 16 mm (0.625 in), so the punch holes land in blank paper, clear of the writing areas.

Ask the shop to trim as little as possible from the spine edge.
