## What is SeedStead?

SeedStead helps you know when to start seeds, direct sow, and transplant based on your garden’s ZIP code and local frost dates.

Enter your ZIP code to get a color-coded planting schedule made for your location. Green shows recommended planting windows, yellow shows caution periods, and gray shows when it is too early or too late.

With SeedStead, you can:

• See crop-specific seed-starting, direct-sowing, and transplant windows
• Build a personalized My Garden list with only the crops you are growing
• Follow planting tasks in the built-in Garden Calendar
• Mark planting tasks complete as you work through the season
• Add selected crop plans to Apple Calendar or Apple Reminders
• Use the transplant calculator to plan when seedlings may be ready to plant out
• Check current conditions, hourly weather, a five-day forecast, and local radar
• Read seed-starting tips and crop-specific growing guidance

SeedStead is built for home gardeners who want a clear, local plan from seed starting through planting time.
