Generic garden planners don’t work here. They don’t account for our unpredictable winters, scorching summers, and the fact that we have two growing seasons. North Texas gardening requires North Texas knowledge and a system that keeps that knowledge at your fingertips all year long. That’s exactly what our 2026 Garden Planner delivers.
What Makes the 2026 Edition Different
This isn’t just an updated calendar. We’ve completely redesigned the planner based on feedback from hundreds of North Texas gardeners who used previous editions. Here’s what’s new:
Spiral Binding That Stays Flat
The 2026 edition features durable spiral binding that allows the planner to lie completely flat, making it easy to reference while you work.
Full-Color Pages Throughout
Color isn’t just pretty, it’s practical. Every month is now color-coded, making it instantly easy to find the information you need. Reference charts, planting schedules, and planning pages all use color to help you navigate quickly and reduce mistakes.
Planting Timelines Directly on the Calendar, By Popular Demand
The most-requested feature is finally here. Planting timelines are now printed directly on each month’s calendar spread.
Now, when you open to March, you’ll see exactly what to plant that month, right there on the calendar page.
How the Planner Works
The 2026 North Texas Garden Planner is organized around the way North Texas gardeners actually garden, not the way a national calendar suggests.
Monthly Planning Pages
Each month includes:
- What to plant now — Vegetables, herbs, and flowers suited to current conditions
- Garden tasks — Season-specific maintenance, from pruning to pest management
- Timely lessons and advice — Not just what to plant, but how to grow it best
Planning Ahead Made Simple
One of the biggest challenges for North Texas gardeners is knowing what to plant next. When your spring lettuce is done for the season, what goes in next?
In this edition, I’ve included a Sample Planting Timeline that demonstrates a garden’s progression throughout the year.
Space for Your Garden’s Story
Planning pages are just the beginning. The planner includes:
- Season-by season gridded garden layout pages where you can sketch out your garden’s layout
- Monthly Reflections pages for observations, weather patterns, and what worked (or didn’t)
- Expanded planting records to keep track of what you planted when
The gardens that improve year after year are the ones whose gardeners take notes. This planner makes that easy.
Plant-by-Plant Reference Charts
Instead of scanning through each month for a particular vegetable or flower, jump directly to the Plant-By-Plant Reference Charts. Charts include:
- When to start indoors, direct sow or transplant
- Average plants required per person
- Average time in the garden (months) so that you can estimate how long it will be in your garden
Why You Should Order Your Garden Planner Now
It’s October. Spring feels far away. But the decisions you make in the next eight weeks will determine how your 2026 garden performs.
And if you want your garden plan finalized before the spring rush hits, now is the time to map it out.
The gardeners who plan in the fall are the ones harvesting abundant spring crops while their neighbors are still figuring out what to plant.
Plus, for a limited time, early orders include a matching notepad as a free bonus gift—perfect for jotting down quick observations, seed orders, or garden center shopping lists.
