Thriving Garden Planner - from Thriving the Future

Times are tough and food prices are through the roof.

How Much food can I grow per person to use my garden as my primary food source?

• How much space will I need for potatoes or lettuce or ?
• How many plants, bulbs, or seeds will I need?
• When the season is done - How much money did I save by growing my own fresh food?

The Thriving Garden Planner from Thriving the Future helps you answer those questions.

Put in the number of people to plan for and it tells you how much total space you need for those potatoes or tomatoes, and how many plant starts or seeds that you need to buy at the store.

Additional Features:

• Log all of your plantings, trees, bushes, perennials, and annual garden plants. When, What type, Where, How, From (source), and the outcome.
• Track how many tomatoes or plants that you harvested and when. How many did the front garden yield vs. the back garden?
• A way to track your inputs (how much compost or wood chips did you add?).
• Log your first and lost frost dates for the year, so you can compare them to the average and what happened in previous years.
• Track any plant sales you made at the farmer's market or online.
• See your food costs. How much of your grocery bill did you save by growing your own fresh food?

What this means to you: You can put this all together and get an idea of what your garden costs and how much of your food bill you saved by growing your own food. Did it really only yield that tomato that the scoffers say cost you $25?

Example: I harvested 104 Amish Paste and Pineapple tomatoes, equaling 38 pounds of tomatoes, in 2021.

At the store, heirloom tomatoes are $3.49/pound. So I grew the equivalent of $132 in tomatoes in one season, saving my food bill by growing it myself.

Plant trees, Grow your own food, and Tend your livestock. You can track all those in this planner.
