## What is Gardenboi?

Gardenboi takes the guesswork out of garden planning. Enter your location, and the app automatically determines your USDA hardiness zone and frost dates to build a personalized seed-starting schedule for your garden.                                                                                                                                                                         
                                                                                                                                                                                                      
SMART SCHEDULING                                                                                                                                                                                    
  Know exactly when to start seeds indoors, transplant outdoors, and direct sow — all based on your local frost dates. Your schedule updates as you add plants, so you always know what to do next.
