The Seed Almanac

How it was made

Seed information is all numeric: sowing month, germination days, spacing and seed-saving difficulty.

Reads like a newspaper or almanac, with a 5-column layout, a 150px masthead and thick-thin double rules.

All varieties are real and only self-pollinating ones were chosen. Figures are based on a British-style temperate climate.

Uncertain values are given as ranges. Engraving-style plant illustrations replace photos.

Choosing a month in the calendar fills in the varieties to sow that month, one by one. Hovering over a seed packet opens its flap.

All 9,019 visible characters across 59 pages were measured; the lowest contrast is 5.90:1.
