Find Out What to Plant Now in Your Garden
Your ZIP code + today’s date = a smarter way to know what belongs in the garden right now.
Ever stand in your garden and wonder, “What should I plant right now?” You’re not alone. Knowing what to grow is only half the battle—knowing when to plant it where you live can make all the difference.
The Seed Guy’s What Should I Plant Right Now? tool makes planning your vegetable garden simple. Enter your ZIP code and we’ll use your location and today’s date to help you discover vegetables that are ready to plant now, crops whose planting time is coming soon, and vegetables you may be able to plant again later in the season.
No digging through complicated planting charts. No trying to figure out whether a planting calendar written for another part of the country applies to your garden. We’ll do the figuring for you.

How Does the Planting Tool Work?
Your ZIP code helps us determine your general growing location and typical seasonal conditions. We then compare that information with the current date and the planting requirements of different vegetables.
The date is handled automatically. You do not have to look up frost dates, count weeks, or select the season yourself.
| 🌱 |
PLANT NOW
Vegetables currently within a recommended planting window for your general location.
|
| ⏰ |
COMING SOON
Crops whose recommended planting window is approaching.

PLANT AGAIN LATER

Why Planting Time Matters
Planting a vegetable at the right time can have a major effect on germination, plant development and harvest. Cool-season vegetables may perform beautifully when planted while temperatures are mild, while warm-season crops generally need warmer conditions.
That’s why a simple hardiness-zone number doesn’t tell the whole story.
