Seed Library
Homesteadweight 1tracker · keeps what you put in
Every gardener owns a tin of seed packets in glorious disorder: some viable, some vintage, some both mysteries. The Seed Library sorts the tin: each seed, how many packets, the month to sow from, the year it stays viable until, and notes. Come the first warm weekend, you sow from knowledge instead of archaeology.
This is not a screenshot. It's the real tool, running right here — go on, put something in it.

Questions people ask
How do I organize my seed packets and know what to sow when?
List each seed with its packet count and its sow-from month, then check the library as each month arrives. March opens the list and tells you what is ready; no more discovering the leek seeds in June.
How long do seeds actually stay viable?
It varies by kind — parsnips fade in a year or two, tomatoes can last five or more. Record the viable-until year from the packet, and the library tells you what to sow generously and what to quietly compost.
Can I use it in the greenhouse or shed with no wifi?
Yes — it is one HTML file that runs offline in any browser, no account, no connection. Nothing you record leaves the page, and the file is yours season after season.
