Dates for New Zealand, not Europe
Seed packets and most apps are written for the northern hemisphere. Bia works from your town’s own climate, so spring sowing lands in September to November.

Frost or no frost
Much of the north rarely frosts, so Bia goes by warmth there. Further south, it works from your frost dates.

A reminder for every job
Sowing, planting out, watering in a dry spell and covering before a cold night.
