Step-by-Step Guide to Sorting and Filtering Your Calendar in Seedtime


1. Introduction (0:00-0:11)

  • Learn how to sort and filter your Seedtime calendar to focus on specific tasks or crops for easier planning and adjustment.


2. Using the Task Filter (0:11-1:17)

Steps:

  1. Locate the task filter at the top of the calendar.

  2. Turn individual tasks (e.g., bed preparation, cultivating) on or off to simplify your view.

    • Example: Turn off bed preparation tasks if you don’t need to see them.

  3. Filter to focus on specific tasks:

    • Turn on seeding tasks to check what needs to be seeded in the coming weeks.

    • Turn on harvesting tasks to see when crops will be ready for harvest.

  4. Adjust the task filter in any view (e.g., timeline or year view).


3. Using the Crop Search Filter (1:17-2:28)

Steps:

  1. Locate the search filter crops box in the left-hand panel.

  2. Type the name of a crop to filter your calendar for that specific planting.

    • Example: Type "lettuce" to display all lettuce plantings.

  3. Filter multiple crops by typing their names separated by spaces.

    • Example: "carrots beets radishes" to display all three crops simultaneously.

  4. Use this feature to plan crop succession:

    • Example: Filter for "beans peas" to align green bean plantings with the end of pea harvests.


4. Filtering by Planting Location (2:28-3:50)

Steps:

  1. Assign crops to specific planting locations (e.g., beds) in the layout planner.

  2. Return to the calendar and filter by planting location:

    • Example: Select "Bed 2" to see all crops planned for that bed.

  3. Combine multiple locations in the filter to view crops for multiple beds together.

  4. Group crops by:

    • Planting location (e.g., Bed 1 and Bed 2).

    • Groups of beds (e.g., Hoop House).


5. Sorting Options (3:50-4:47)

Steps:

  1. Sort crops in your calendar by:

    • Seeding Date: View crops in the order they need to be seeded.

    • In-Ground Date: Organize crops by transplanting or direct seeding dates.

    • Harvesting Date: Group crops by their expected harvest periods.

  2. Use sorting to easily plan successions, harvest overlaps, or bed rotations.


6. Maximizing Efficiency with Filters and Sorting (4:47-4:54)

  • Combine filters and sorting to view your calendar from multiple perspectives, such as by task type, crop, or location.

  • Adjust views to focus on specific areas of your garden plan, simplifying decision-making and improving efficiency.


7. Conclusion (4:54)

  • Use filtering and sorting to customize your calendar view and streamline your garden planning in Seedtime.

  • Experiment with different options to maximize your productivity.
