How to use the planting calendar

The Sproutly Gardening planting calendar shows what to plant and what jobs to focus on each month, based on typical UK growing conditions.

Start by choosing the current month or the month you want to plan for. Each page highlights suitable fruit and vegetables to sow or plant, along with key tasks to keep your garden moving forward.

Use the calendar as a guide rather than a rulebook. Weather, soil type, and location can vary, so treat the suggestions as a helpful starting point and adjust based on your own conditions.

As you plan ahead, you can add plants and tasks directly into Sproutly to keep everything organised in one place. Over time, this helps you build a clear picture of what works best in your garden, season after season.

Gardening advice is provided as a general guide based on typical UK conditions. Weather soil and local climate can vary so always use your judgement and adjust timing as needed for your own garden.
