Tomato
Solanumlycopersicum
Sow indoors six weeks before your last frost. Staked, it repays you into October.
The reason you bought a stake.
Nº 01A planting calendar for real gardens
Furrow turns your rough corner of the world into real planting dates — then turns those dates into short, doable tasks. A bed planner, a journal, harvest notes. No feed, no streaks, no guilt.

02What it does
No social feed bolted on, no gamified watering streaks. Just the things a kitchen garden actually asks of you.
Pick a rough region — a state will do. Every sow, transplant and harvest window is calculated from published climate normals for your zone, and the source is one tap away. When the data can’t be sure, it says so instead of guessing.
Sketch your garden in squares — two of tomato, three of lettuce, one bed you keep meaning to fill. Furrow turns that sketch into this week’s short tasks: thin the carrots, harden off the seedlings, skip the watering — it rained.
A photo and a sentence a week is enough. Next spring you’ll know the basil bolted in June and which bean earned its trellis. It’s your notebook — nothing posts anywhere by default.
Allotments and back fences are not famous for their bars. Your plan, calendar and journal live on the phone — log a harvest with zero service and it syncs when you’re home. No account required.
03The field guide
No stock photos, no generic green leaf. Every crop gets its own botanical illustration and a season bar for your zone. Four from the first set:
Sow indoors six weeks before your last frost. Staked, it repays you into October.
The reason you bought a stake.
The easiest win in the garden. Sow a short row every three weeks and it never leaves your table.
Salad happens to other people.
Slow to start, then smug. Loose soil, patient thinning, and sweetness after the first cool nights.
Thinning is not optional. Sorry.
Wants warmth and pinching. Pinch, and it becomes a bush; don’t, and it becomes a flower stalk.
Pesto is a season-end decision.
“First tomatoes. The Cherokee Purple beat the Better Boy by a week — the internet said that was impossible.”

04Our promises
The frost math needs a climate region, not your doorstep. Rough region in — never GPS, never your address in logs.
Sharing a harvest card is a choice you make each time, after a privacy preview. Nothing posts as a side effect of anything.
Miss a month — life happens, gardens wait. Furrow will never count your absences, dim your streak or send a shame notification.
05Questions
Published climate normals — decades of recorded first and last frosts, season length and temperatures for your zone — combined with regional growing rules we license and review. Every window shows its source and version. They’re references, not forecasts; a warm spring will always have the final word.
The first season covers the US, UK, Canada and Australia — zones from Calgary-cold to Perth-hot. Elsewhere, we’d rather say “not yet” than guess at your frost.
Yes — that’s the point. Plan beds, check tasks, keep a journal, all on the device with zero sign-up. An account only adds backup and syncing across phones, and it’s never a gate.
Planning, the calendar and the journal are free at launch. Later there may be paid extras — several gardens, say, or exporting a season plan — but the Sunday-night “what do I do this week” list stays free. If that ever changes, this page will be the first place we say so.
We’re heads-down on the first iOS and Android release. Join the waitlist and you’ll get one email the day it’s live — no drip campaign, no “top five tips”.
Nº 06The waitlist
No newsletter, no engagement tricks. We’ll write once — when Furrow is on the store. Tell us your region and what you want to grow; it decides which zones we cover first.
