A digital garden planning spreadsheet by The Byrd’s Nest, a new offering from Black Spruce.
Designed for gardeners who want clarity without clutter, The Seed Starting Planner is a thoughtfully structured spreadsheet that helps you organize seeds, plan start dates, track germination, and record what actually works in your garden, season after season.
Built using the same planning principles I use for my own creative business, this tool replaces scattered notes and guesswork with a calm, reliable system you can return to year after year.
This digital spreadsheet includes four organized planning sections:
*** Seed Inventory ***
Track plant type, variety, source, purchase year, germination timing, maturity, and special requirements like cold stratification or indoor starting.
*** Seed Starting Schedule ***
Plan indoor starts and direct sow dates, track quantities, tray sizes, and equipment used (heat mats, grow lights), and stay ahead of the season.
*** Germination & Notes ***
Record sowing dates, germination timing, success rates, and observations so you can refine your process over time.
*** Transplant Log ***
Track when seedlings move into beds or containers, quantities planted, spacing notes, and hardening-off completion.
Designed for flowers, vegetables, and cut gardens
Works in Google Sheets (fully editable and customizable)
Clean, neutral layout.
Built to be reused every season
Helps you learn from YOUR OWN garden, not someone else’s
