Good app for beginners
I just got this app a week ago finding garden planning apps. This is a great app for beginners. It gives u lots of information on the plant when and where to plant them if they need support etc. I just wish they had more plant options to choose from. Maybe it’ll happen as the season changes. We shall see but great app so far and they even give u notifications on when to do it with dates. How awesome is thatShow lessSherry Chatmon
Really Really liking this app
I’m was trying to find a replacement for my paper, pencil color coded spreadsheet.
This app is extremely simple to use. I am the furthest things from being technology savvy.
Make sure you tap on a vegetable example lettuce you will be brought to another screen where you can choose the variety if your variety is not listed you can manually add it. The app gives you options asking if you need to purchase the seeds or already have them. Will you be purchasing as seedlings or growing your own. There are a few more options in that area as well.
I used the note section in that area to add all the information from the back of the seed packet.
Once you go through the list adding all the veggies you are planning on planting in your garden your home page will have changed.
A list of the veggies your planting will be listed as things to do with dates. Giving you date ranges to purchase seeds/seedlings or start your seeds indoors, transplant and harvest. Click on an individual veggie to see the tasks, when you’ve completed that task click task completed.
I’ve also used the note area to log all of my steps in detail, I am always experimenting with different growing methods I was able to add all of that info to the notes.
I have only been using the app for about 1 week so far I really really like this app.Show lessLov2grdn
It’s been nice so far…
I like the user interface, clean and simple but it’s also aesthetically nice. I like the 10% annual goal, makes me challenge myself for the year. I purchased a bunch of seeds so I’m ready to grow my veggies with the square foot gardening method in my Vegepods. I like how this prepares me to thin out seedlings and for harvesting plants. I’ll gladly pay a lifetime fee for this app. I’m not a fan of subscriptions.Show lessBrendiFlor

Developer response was that they use 50 climate (whatever that is) and it’s more accurate… yet it wasn’t at all accurate for me. Be aware and vigilant so your crops aren’t susceptible because of lack of proper information. Won’t be re-downloading this app or recommending it to anyone. While I can’t state anything regarding actual use as I deleted this before I input anything, I can state it is likely not accurate. I notified that their system did not have appropriate growing zones, and in an email returned, I got a slightly rude response that included they do not in fact actually utilize growing zones for anything. This is a disservice to anyone trying to take growing seriously, as our zones are vitally important in determining species, varieties, and frost expectations. If you’re just doing this for fun, so be it. But this app is not for anyone trying to truly plan. Plans involve accurate information and people can and do fail when not using accurate and thorough information. I wanted to utilize this app before deleting but can’t bring myself to promote something whose developers refuse to use constructive criticism to improve.Show lessSincerely, an adult

There are only 13 growing zones but we use 50 climate that is based on climate, average temperatures, and frost dates. This provides a more accurate plan based on better data.Amazing app!!
Love this app!! I just wish they had flowers and a plant identifier on here as well. Would love to be able to manage my flower beds and identify plants from the same app. Otherwise, I don’t have a complaint! The design is really cool and I’m looking forward to the trees being added as well!! Definitely recommend this app for anyone looking to start a garden.Show lessSarahAnneAuthor

I love the variety of the plants to add, that you can add your own, and how it tells you your zone and the information associated with that. However, you cannot change your location, which is a must for me as I travel full time and am never in the same place for a long time. It’d also be nice if the calendar told you when to water depending on the weather in the area. Other than that it’s a pretty good app.Show lessWMMWPKLITD
Unable to change planting day!!
I had the app for about two weeks ready to start some fall planting all of a sudden I was unable to change dates, modify dates do you know life happens if I plan to plant something on one day, but get too busy and unable to do it I should be able to change the date to the actual day I planted it I should be able to go back in time. What if I forgot that I planted something that I forgot to enter into the app overall, this is just a simple calendar trimming harvesting and see saving I’ll give it to starsShow lesskomnbvhgfdvb236
Love this!!!
I love how it’s keeping me organized as to when to plant according to my zone. I live in So Cal but by the mountains so most blogs generalize what my zone is ….but this app gets it right! It put me in 9B…we have zone 9, 9A and B so for years I’ve been confused as to what zone I’m actually in. I love how it tells me the exact dates as to when to plant and when to sow as well as when to harvest. The only thing I wish it had was a grid so I would know how to organize and space out my plants in my raised beds. I use another app for that but I wish it was all in one. Going to be spending a lot of time in the app! Thank you!Show lessWilkyway1979

Happy gardening! Please email your zip code and example of cases where the app dates don’t match your area so we can fix them. Please use the “report a bug” feature in the app. We are always looking to make it better!Love this!!!
