The Challenge
Small-scale homesteaders and hobby farmers struggle to find reliable, zone-specific growing information in one place. Existing resources are fragmented across forums, PDFs, and outdated extension service sites — none tailored to their specific USDA zone or offering actionable seasonal guidance.
Our Solution
Built a full-stack web application with a SvelteKit frontend and FastAPI backend. The app features a searchable plant database covering all USDA zones (1a–13b) with planting windows, frost dates, and companion planting recommendations. A seasonal task calendar gives users week-by-week guidance based on their zone. The backend API serves structured data from a normalized SQLite database, with full CRUD for content management.
The Results
Comprehensive database covering 100+ plants across all USDA zones with seasonal task calendars and companion planting data. Zone-specific planting calendars generate personalized schedules. Sub-second page loads with server-side rendering and edge caching.
