Portland Planting Guide

About

This site is a lightweight tool that lets you:

• Search crops quickly
• Filter by planting timing and method
• See recommended planting windows at a glance
• Share filtered views with a copyable link

How It Works

The site is intentionally simple:

• A CSV file acts as the data source
• The browser loads and parses the CSV at runtime
• Filters and search are generated dynamically
• No backend, database, or tracking

Tech Stack

• HTML
• Tailwind CSS
• Alpine.js
• PapaParse

Everything runs client-side.

The Data

All planting information lives in data.csv.

Planting guidance is compiled from materials shared by Portland Nursery, drawing on:

• The Maritime Northwest Garden Guide (Tilth Alliance)
• The Old Farmer’s Almanac
• Territorial Seed Catalogue
• Growing Vegetables West of the Cascades (Steve Solomon)

This project reorganizes and presents that information in a different interface; all credit for the gardening expertise belongs to the original sources.
