Growing Calendar · sowings, garden visits, delivery days
The whole growing week, on one calendar.
Sow for the order, visit the client’s garden, cut and deliver on the kitchen’s days. Ortalio is built to keep every sowing, succession, garden visit and delivery day on one Growing Calendar, for a rooftop you tend on a client’s site and for the beds and racks on your own farm.

The week board
Four kinds of work, one week.
A grower’s week runs on four rhythms at once. Sowings for what the kitchens will want next. Successions so the next crop is coming before the last one ends. Garden visits on the client’s site. Delivery days at the kitchen door. Here they share one board.
- Sowings for the orders ahead
- Successions from the crop plan
- The program’s garden visits
- The kitchen’s delivery days
- One visit moves, the rest stay put

The weeks and months on this board are your own. Ortalio is built to follow your market’s season: south of the equator the sample plan runs six months on, where crops grow year-round the board shows weeks and days, and indoor sowings in a grow room carry no season at all.
Programs and standing weekly orders
Set the rhythm once. The calendar keeps it.
A kitchen garden you run on the client’s site is a program of visits. A kitchen you supply from your farm is a standing weekly order. Both are built to repeat on the calendar until you change them, one occurrence at a time or the whole series.
- 01The client’s programThe Calloway’s rooftop kitchen garden: garden visits every Monday and Thursday, Theo on the roof.
- 02The standing weekly orderFennel & Ash: deliveries every Tuesday and Friday, packed the evening before.
- 03Sowings that follow the ordersPurple radish on MR-02 every Tuesday for Noor’s new dish; Little Gem on RB-03 every three weeks.
- 04One date changes, the series staysThe roof is closed for an event on Monday the 30th: that visit is skipped. The visits before it stay on the record as done.
- 05The client hears from youThe next garden visit goes to Daniel by email, in your company’s name.

The season at a glance
Each kind of growing, its own year.
Zoom out and the same calendar shows the year: how the roof’s beds turn over through the year, how long the greenhouse runs, and the grow room’s trays sown every week of it. The months are the ones you plan in, wherever your kitchens are.
- The roof’s season opens
- The chef’s request goes in
- The last succession
- The roof closes for the seasonEach bed turns over
- The grow room never stops
Your plan runs on weeks here: the crops grow all year round.

Ortalio keeps the record of what you planned, read, cut and delivered. It does not certify food safety, trace produce for a regulator or forecast yields: the record is yours, and the kitchen reads what you choose to send.
