Ask HN: Database of Vegetable Harvest Times?

4 pointsby nrs26almost 8 years ago
I&#x27;m working on a project on gardening, and I&#x27;m looking for a clean API or data source of vegetables and planting &amp; harvest times.<p>Something like this(http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gardentowerproject.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;gardening-ideas-recommendations&#x2F;veggie-scheduling-when-to-start-seeds-plant-harvest), but with data that&#x27;s usable (or easily changeable) by excel in formulas.<p>In an ideal world, I&#x27;d like to have it include indoor planting times &amp; germination times. It would be great to have a chart like this(http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ufseeds.com&#x2F;Zone-6-Planting-Calendar.html) but with actual date ranges instead of a gradient.<p>And I&#x27;m aware that this data change per zone and has a margin of error. I&#x27;m looking specifically for Zone 7, but if this was organized by Zone that would be great. If not, I can still work with the data.<p>Does anyone know where I can find such a chart?

I poked around a bit for US Gov data but didn&#x27;t find much. Sure seems like they should have that somewhere.<p>I know the Old Farmers Almanac&quot; has that data in their yearly booklet and on their website but not in a digital downloadable format.<p>You may have to key it in yourself but if you stick to just veggies it shouldn&#x27;t be that much. You can adjust the planting dates to any zone once you have them for one zone according to the &quot;last frost&quot; date (AFAIK).
