Why month pages and crop pages disagree with your seed packet
They shouldn't — they're the same arithmetic from different directions. Seed packets say "6–8 weeks before last frost"; these pages have already looked up the typical frost dates for each zone and done the counting. The month view answers "it's March — what now?", the crop view answers "when do tomatoes go in?", and both hand off to the planting calendar for windows built on your own city's frost dates from the ZIP lookup.
