The Succession Planting Seed Kit
Sixteen cases. One for every two-week window from February to September. Pull a case, plant what's inside, come back in two weeks.
Pre-curated for the coastal fog belt
The idea
Succession planting works, but it's mentally heavy. You have to remember what to sow, when, and what gets re-sown two weeks later. The Succession Kit takes the remembering off your shoulders. Sixteen pre-loaded compartments in a photo storage case. One per fortnight, from cold-hardy openers in February to garlic + cover crops in September.
Curated for Humboldt
Every variety chosen for our cool summers, mild winters, and marine layer. No hot-weather crops that need a hoop house just to ripen.
This Week pointer
Built-in date formula tells you exactly which case to pull right now. Open the spreadsheet, get this week's plan in one glance.
Re-sow notes
Each crop tells you when to sow it next. Lettuce in Case 2? Resow in Case 4. No more spreadsheet juggling.
Sixteen cases, eight months
A look at the full year. The pink-highlighted card is what you'd be planting right now.

California seed sources
Every variety in the kit comes from a California seed company growing organic, heirloom, or both. Buying in-state means seed already adapted to our conditions, shorter shipping, and dollars staying close to home. Most local first.
