  • Well thought out

    This app is well thought out and seems to flow nicely. I like the alerts for the process of each plant you put in your garden. It took me some messing around to figure out but overall I am impressed. Looking forward to using it more and gathering results.
  • Love the concept but keeps crashing

    I’ve used this to plan out my garden for a few years now and every year in the spring it completely wipes my garden plan clean and won’t even load the screen to allow me to plan out a new garden. Every winter it works great but whether the server gets overloaded in spring or what, it’s unusable come planting time. It will continue to send you reminders of what to plant but good luck getting it to actually load so you can view the planting calendar. Best advise is to plan your garden out in the winter using it and then make paper notes of when to plant everything so you’re not left high and dry come spring.

  • Love the concept, needs some tweaks

    We’re a small space gardening family, and I love the idea of being able to track our volume of food grown in our yard. The plants were pretty easy to add and relabel to the varieties we’re growing. The calendar is unrealistic, though, and I wish I could edit it to reflect what’s actually happening. We’ve had a cold spring this year, and things are growing slowly. It’s frustrating that I’m being told to harvest things now (I’m writing this on Memorial Day) that haven’t even fruited yet, and I know we didn’t pick tomatoes and peppers for several months from this time last year. So it would be nice if I could input stuff like when we actually harvest so the algorithm can adjust. Dreaming big here, it would also be nice to be able to customize the calendar further, since my husband also likes to experiment with indoor hydroponics and so we grow peppers over the winter, too.

  • So easy to use and understand.

    You want an easy and simple gardening calendar, then this is the app for you, and I’ve browsed quite a few. I look forward to when they’re able to raise the funds for the companion plants and trees updates cause it would be very useful to have instead of constantly having to Google each one. The only thing that this app is missing would be a way to plan or maybe map a garden. But considering how it’s all free compared to other apps this isn’t bad at all.

  • We’ll designed and isn’t ‘buggy’

    The app takes a logical approach, super helpful for both beginners and longtime gardeners.
  • Great app

    I’m new to gardening and so far it’s been very informative in a format that a newb can understand. Two thumbs up.
  • Love

    So far love this app!!! I started my first garden super late last year and got the gardening “bug” sorta speak! I can’t wait to use this app and all the features to the fullest.
  • Love this app!

    Just downloaded and I already have my garden planned out for the year! The calendar is great for helping you plan when and what to grow.
  • Lots of potential

    It's a very user-friendly app, I like my garden tracking simple and organized, the layout of this app is perfect for me. FEATURE REQUEST: I really love to try indoor planting during winters, I could set up shelves for lettuces, start herbs from seeds, potato on crates? or anything that's possible to do indoor, I just hope there's an app which can provide guidelines on those kind of things. Please be that app:) good work you're doing right there.

  • Love This App!

    I just received a notice from Farm Your Yard, letting me know what I can plant right now in my zone. Not only is that invaluable info but also incentive to get outside, feel the fresh air and dig in the dirt! Love, love this app!
