Looking to start your own garden from seeds? Hooray! I’ve put together the ultimate resource guide for all that you need to get growing!

In case you missed it, I have created printable seed-starting journal pages so you can keep track of the seeds you are planting. This will help you record what seeds you planted and when, which will take the guess work out later.

Pick Your Seeds

One of the key elements to using the journal pages is to figure out the Last Frost Date in your growing region. To find your Last Frost Date, the Farmer’s Almanac has a handy calculator that you can use for Canada and the United States. Farmer’s Almanac Frost Date Calculator.
