Seed Sowing Calendar
Plan a growing year on one page using the sowing times that apply where you garden, rather than a calendar printed for somebody else's climate.

Garden and growing
Sowing plans, plot layouts, greenhouse logs, compost records and fruit tree histories — blank wherever the answer depends on where you garden.
Growing advice ages badly and travels worse: a sowing date that is right in one county is wrong two hundred miles north of it. These sheets print no dates and no target figures — they are built to hold yours, and to still be legible in the shed when next season asks what you did last time.
Sheets in Garden and growing
Allotment Plot Plan
Get the plot down on paper to a consistent scale, so bed lengths, seed quantities and next year's rotation can be worked out in the warm.
GG-02 2 pages
Greenhouse Growing Log
Turn a greenhouse from a place things happen into a place with a record, so a bad germination or a lost crop can be traced back to the week it went wrong.
GG-03 1 page
Compost and Soil Record
Know which heap is ready and what has already been spread where, instead of guessing at both every spring.
GG-04 2 pages
Fruit Tree and Pruning Record
Keep the details that vanish with the label — variety, rootstock and planting year — and build a pruning and cropping history alongside them.
GG-05 2 pages
Watering and Irrigation Schedule
Set out what waters what, how, and how often, then keep a dated record through the season alongside the system checks that stop a blocked emitter going unnoticed.
GG-06 2 pages
Planting and Sowing Schedule
Capture what you planned, what you actually did and what happened, which is the comparison that makes next season better and the one nobody writes down.
GG-07 1 page
Vegetable Garden Planner
Plan the season with last year's beds in front of you, which is the only way rotation decisions get made from fact rather than memory.
GG-08 2 pages
Plant Propagation Record
Record what struck and what did not, so your own conditions become the reference instead of a general table.
GG-09 1 page
Garden Machinery Hire Record
Keep hire costs, deposits and condition notes together, so a damage claim can be answered from a record and a machine hired every spring is noticed before the fourth time.
GG-10 2 pages
Hedge Laying and Boundary Work Record
Give a hedge that is laid once in a working lifetime a history, so the next person to lay it knows the style, the year and which gaps were planted up.
GG-11 2 pages
No-Dig Bed and Mulch Record
See what each bed has actually had put on it over the years, so mulching is decided from a record instead of from how tired the soil looks in spring.
GG-12 2 pages
Rainwater Harvesting and Butt Log
Know how long a full butt really lasts in a dry spell and which one always runs dry first, so the next butt goes where it will actually fill.
GG-13 2 pages
Tree Planting and Establishment Record
Keep a new tree alive through its first summers by making the watering and checks visible, and know afterwards which trees from which nursery actually took.
GG-14 2 pages
Wildflower and Meadow Establishment Log
Turn a meadow's slow progress into something you can read back, so you know which cut, which addition and which year made the difference.
GG-15 2 pages
Storm-Damaged Tree Assessment Record
Decide what happens to each storm-hit tree from what you actually found, not the mess. The recheck table catches the trees that looked fine and then declined months later.
GG-16 2 pages
Tree Protection Zone Check During Building Work
Show at every site visit that the fencing round each retained tree stayed put. A lettered key makes it quick to note exactly what was found inside a zone and who was told.
GG-17 2 pages
Fruit Tree Grafting and Budding Record
Know which variety sits on which rootstock long after the first label has faded. A season's grafts, counted by method and by grafter, show what actually works for you.
GG-18 2 pages
Lawn Condition Assessment Sheet
Look the whole lawn over on the same points before buying feed or hiring a scarifier. Writing down what each zone shows makes it clear which problem to tackle first.
GG-19 1 page
New Lawn Seeding and Turf Establishment Record
Keep the whole story of a new lawn in one place so a patchy result can be traced. The label figures, the preparation and the first weeks sit on the same two pages.
GG-20 2 pages
Sprinkler Catch-Can Audit Worksheet
Set run times from what a zone actually puts down instead of the controller's default. The same test shows up dry corners and heads that need moving.
GG-21 2 pages
Irrigation Valve, Zone and Controller Record
Find a buried valve again and put a reset controller back exactly as it was. Every program, start time and run time is written down before anything is changed.
GG-22 2 pages
Irrigation Start-Up and Shut-Down Record
Start the season by walking every zone while it runs, and end it with a shut-down on record. Faults are written against their zone, so nothing is forgotten by spring.
GG-23 2 pages
Soil Moisture Sensor Reading Log
Water when the soil says so, reading every sensor beside the rain and the watering. Over a season the log also shows how each zone dries out, and whether your trigger needs moving.
GG-24 2 pages
Garden Weather and Rain Gauge Record
Know your own plot's weather, from its rain and its frosts to its last cold night of spring. A few years of these sheets tell you more about when to sow and plant out than any regional average.
GG-25 2 pages
Garden Phenology Record
See whether spring is coming earlier in your own garden by dating the same firsts every year. Five years of dates side by side show shifts in timing that no single year can.
GG-26 2 pages
Polytunnel Cover and Frame Check
Find the small tear or loose anchor before a gale does, checking the same points each season. Page two keeps the repairs and the cover's age, so a replacement is planned, not forced.
GG-27 2 pages
Compost Temperature Monitoring Log
Follow a hot heap from the day it is built until it cools, reading the same points each time. Plotting the readings shows when it heated, how turning revived it and when it settled.
GG-28 2 pages
Wormery Feeding and Harvest Record
Catch overfeeding before the bin turns wet and sour by noting what went in and how it looked. Harvests and fixes are kept alongside, so you learn what your worms will manage.
GG-29 2 pages
Plant Passport and Incoming Plant Record
Trace any batch back to its supplier or forward to its buyer if a pest or disease turns up. Keeping the passport details and the arrival check together makes the record quick to search.
GG-30 2 pages
Plant Collection Accession Register
Tie every label in the ground to its record with one number that is never reused. The register keeps each plant's name, source, position and status, and page two logs every move and relabelling.
GG-31 2 pages
Garden Sun and Shade Mapping Sheet
Choose where to plant from the sun and shade you have watched, not from a guess. Looks in three seasons show how far the shade moves through the year.
GG-40 2 pages
Garden Diary Weekly Page
Keep a week of the garden on one page, to look back on when planning next year. It is the running record that ties the specialist logs together.
GG-41 1 page
Seedling Hardening-Off Record
Move seedlings outdoors gradually and keep a record of what worked. The routine that got this year's plants out unharmed is the one to repeat next spring.
GG-42 2 pages
Nesting Bird Check Before Hedge and Tree Work
Record the check for active nests just before cutting, and what you decided because of it. If work waits for a nest, the re-check log shows when it carried on.
GG-43 2 pages
Greenhouse Clean-Down and Sanitation Record
Clean down the same way at every turnaround, so disease has less to carry over. The record shows what was cleaned, with what, and when the next clean is due.
GG-44 1 page
Frost and Winter Damage Record
Base next winter's protection on what died, recovered or came through in your own garden. A hardiness label is a guide; this sheet is the record of your plot.
