This easy-to-use app creates a personalized seed planting calendar based on the date when daylight falls below 10 hrs in your garden. Raise crops for harvest during the winter in areas of the world where the winter daylight is short and the days are cold. These are crops that do not store well inside. In most locations, you will need winter protection – a cold frame or plastic tunnel.

This app originated on Skippy’s Vegetable Garden blog and has been tested and used world-wide by over 50,000 agricultural students and home gardeners. Skippy’s Vegetable Garden was awarded Best Garden Blog by Horticultural Magazine.

If you plant seeds, this app will help you. It can be hard to get planting time from a seed packet. You have to count backwards using the days to maturity number and your frost dates to figure out the calendar date. With several seed packets, this gets confusing. Skippys App solves this.

Skippys App is designed for gardeners all over the world. It is effective anywhere with four seasons, a cool winter, and an average first and last frost date. Through research and our own experience, weve collected data for the optimum planting times for winter vegetables. The app does the work of creating a schedule for winter planting. It lists sowing and transplanting dates.

The app is easy-to-use and practical. It’s add-free. No in-app purchases. No silly distracting graphics. And it’s actively supported by gardeners with regular updates. If you have a question or suggestion, you can visit skippysgarden.com and email us.

How does it work? Select the season and the crops you want to grow. Add your garden’s limited daylight date. The app will create a calendar for your chosen crops. You can view your planting tasks by the week or scroll through the entire season. Once set up, the app opens to display the current week with your current planting tasks. If planting season hasnt started yet, it will show your first task coming up.

Give it a try. Were sure that Skippys App will simplify your seed sowing.
