What Can I Plant Right Now?

A real-time gardening guide

All of the predictions are based on the weather data derived from zip code 43215

We don't like USDA zones because:

  • An individual micro climate can vary significantly from the rest of its agricultural zone.
  • Using first and last frost dates only tells half of the story about what can be grown in a given area. Getting the full picture of year round soil and air temperatures is more effective.

Our approach is to predict soil and air temperatures, and match them against the growing requirements of the species in our plant database.

Start Seeds Outdoors

Start these seeds by sowing into the soil directly. Soil temperatures and weather are right for germination.

Sorry, we don't recommend starting seeds in your area using this method right now.

The Demeter Project is making gardening easier by digitizing as much garden know-how as possible.
