Questions
Which growing zone do I need?
None. The kits don't use zones. They count from your average last frost date in spring. If you don't know yours, pages 4 to 6 of every kit list 108 NOAA weather stations across the US, each with an early, a middle and a late last-frost date. Frost-free areas such as coastal Southern California, south Florida and lowland Hawaii have no last-frost week; there the kits point you to your county planting calendar.
What paper size do I print on?
Each kit has two PDFs: US Letter and A4. Print at 100% (actual size) so the bed grids keep their scale of one inch to one foot.
How do the files arrive?
Payment is processed by Stripe. After payment you get an email with a download link. Each kit is one zip file with its two PDFs; the bundle is one zip with all six. Download your files promptly after payment. If you have trouble, write to hello@gardenpdf.com and we will help.
Can I print it again next year?
Yes. The pages carry no year, and you may print as many copies as you need for your own garden and household, in any year. Please don't share, resell or upload the files.
What if it isn't what I wanted?
Email hello@gardenpdf.com within 14 days of your purchase and we refund the full price to the card or account you paid with. You don't need to give a reason.
Does it tell me which varieties to grow?
No. The charts cover 41 vegetables and herbs by crop, such as tomato, kale or pea, and send you to your county extension list for varieties that suit your area.
Want all three kits? The bundle is $14 instead of $21. Also see The Winter Plan and The Seed-Starting Countdown.
Full refund within 14 days, no reason needed. $7
