Week 2 · Soil & Seed
Frost & Sun Map Map your yard's frost pockets and sun hours.
Seeds wait for warmth
Most seeds need a soil temperature above a threshold to germinate (beans 60°F/16°C, corn 50°F/10°C, peppers 70°F/21°C). Growing-degree days are how farmers turn weather into a planting calendar.
Drag & Sort
Plant me — cool, warm, or hot? Sort each crop by the soil temperature it needs to germinate.

Step outside
Three kinds of clouds anybody can name Long before phones, every farmer and sailor knew the sky. Here are the three clouds you need first.
Progress 0 of 3 steps
1 🪶 Cirrus — feathery and high
Thin white wisps high up, like a horse's tail brushed across the sky. They mean weather is changing soon.
2 ☁️ Cumulus — puffy and friendly
Cotton balls with flat bottoms. The clouds you draw. A sky of cumulus on a sunny day = good day to be outside.
3 ⛈️ Cumulonimbus — tall, dark, thundery
Big tower-clouds that get dark on the bottom and flat-topped like an anvil. These bring rain, lightning, and wind. Go inside.
