The “Gardener’s Sowing Planner” is the brainchild of Diana Stek and Laura Beijn, who sought to create a resource that was both efficient and easy to navigate. Their collaboration resulted in this comprehensive guide, detailing the optimal times for sowing and transplanting various plant species. This planner divides each month into three segments: early, mid, and late, and lists the ideal vegetables, herbs, and garden flowers to sow during each period.

Its compact design is enhanced by icons that provide essential information at a glance, with their meanings conveniently explained on a bookmark for quick reference. Diana, renowned for her engaging blog narratives, enriches each month’s section with her captivating stories. Additionally, there’s ample space for personal notes.

Spanning 200 pages, this reference book covers over 200 plant varieties and is printed on sustainable, partially recycled paper. Its dimensions are 17×24 cm, and it features a ring binding for easy handling and use over multiple years. The planner is filled with Diana’s valuable tips and can be navigated by time or via an index for specific plant types.

The fifth edition introduces exciting new varieties, such as chickpeas, mibuna, and mizuna, and includes updated sowing guides for potatoes and peas in greenhouses, as well as lufa in this revised edition of the Gardener’s Sowing Planner.
