Productive Land Calendar

A month-by-month task calendar for a productive property - planting windows, pruning timing, and maintenance tasks organized by season so nothing gets missed.

Productive Land Calendar

The single most common reason a productive planting underperforms is not bad plant choices, it is missed timing. Pruning done at the wrong time of year, a planting window missed by a few weeks, maintenance tasks forgotten until they become a real problem. This calendar exists to solve exactly that.

Organized month by month for our regional growing zone, it covers planting windows, pruning timing for fruiting trees and shrubs, and the maintenance tasks that are easy to forget between seasons.

Who this is for

For staying
ahead of the season.

This is the simplest, lowest-cost product in our shop, and often the most used. It does not require reading a design guide or planning a layout, just a wall calendar that tells you what needs attention this month.

It pairs naturally with anything else you buy from us - once your plants are in the ground, this is what keeps their timing right for years afterward.

What to know before you buy

Timing is calibrated to our regional growing zone (Mid-Atlantic) - if you are gardening in a significantly different climate, adjust timing to your local frost dates and season length.

This is a maintenance and timing reference, not a planting design tool - pair it with the Garden Planner or Permaculture Planner if you are still deciding what to plant.

Common questions

Before you buy.

  • Is this specific to my region?It is calibrated to our Mid-Atlantic growing zone. If you garden elsewhere, use it as a framework and adjust timing to your local frost dates.
  • Does it cover vegetables or just fruit trees?Both - it covers timing for fruiting trees and shrubs as well as general seasonal maintenance tasks relevant to most productive plantings.
  • Is this a physical calendar?It is a printable PDF reference, not a physical wall calendar shipped to you.
  • Never miss
    the planting window again.
