FAQ
Common Questions
What is a planting schedule?
A planting schedule is a calendar that tells you exactly when to start seeds indoors, when to transplant seedlings outside, and when to expect your harvest — all based on your local last frost date. SproutSchedule builds this automatically from your ZIP code.
How do I know when to plant based on frost dates?
Enter your ZIP code in SproutSchedule and we'll look up your average last spring frost date and first fall frost date. Every plant's schedule is then calculated backward from those dates — so you know the exact window to start seeds, transplant, and harvest.
When should I start seeds indoors?
Most vegetables should be started indoors 6–10 weeks before your last frost date. For example, tomatoes need 6–8 weeks, peppers 8–10 weeks, and broccoli 4–6 weeks. SproutSchedule calculates this automatically — just scan your seed packet and we'll tell you the exact start date for your location.
Can I use SproutSchedule for free?
Yes! SproutSchedule is free to start with no credit card required. The free plan includes up to 5 plants, 3 AI seed packet scans per month, care reminders, and Google Calendar sync. Upgrade to Basic ($4.99/year) or Pro ($24.99/year) for more plants, scans, and features.
How does seed packet scanning work?
Take a photo of any seed packet with your phone's camera. SproutSchedule's AI reads the planting instructions and automatically creates a personalized planting timeline for your location. No manual data entry required.
What vegetables can I plan with SproutSchedule?
SproutSchedule works with virtually any vegetable, herb, or flower. Popular plants include tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, lettuce, basil, marigolds, and hundreds more. If it has a seed packet, SproutSchedule can create a schedule for it.
Does SproutSchedule work outside the United States?
Yes! SproutSchedule supports gardeners worldwide. Outside the US, you can enter your location manually and we'll use your local frost dates to build your schedule. Celsius and Fahrenheit are both supported.
What is the Plant Doctor feature?
Plant Doctor is an AI-powered plant diagnosis tool. Upload a photo of your struggling plant and describe the symptoms — Plant Doctor analyzes the image and provides a diagnosis with specific treatment recommendations. Available on Basic and Pro plans.
