  • Really good

    This app seems to have a lot of great information on vegetable gardening, from last and first frost dates for your growing zone, to ideal planting times for a variety of plants. So much more. I am especially to input all my planting info from handwritten notes and various spreadsheets. Hopefully the developer will add the ability diagram your own garden. But that may be too much to ask. Overall, a very helpful app.

  • Love this app BUT

    Love this app, very easy to use and has a decent built in list of crops! However it needs an option to add unlisted items so those don't get forgotten!

    Looking forward to seeing the further development of this unique app
  • Love this app

    Thank you for this app.

    With our current economic situation, the prices of everything and lack of goods, the chemicals used daily, it only makes sense to become more self sufficient.

    My wife and I have been wanting to step out and become more self reliant for years. This app has given me the courage to do just that. The knowledge of what to plant, when to plant, and when to harvest is invaluable.
    I feel as if I just became the smartest personal farmer in the world.

    I have passed this app to all of my friends and family.

  • Deleting things

    Hello! Great app! But how can I delete things out of my calendar or clear my calendar?
  • Great app

    I’ve been looking for an app to help me know about when to plant and when to expect my harvest. Yes I can look it all up on the internet, but having it all in an app is a lot easier.

    Also if you find an issue, tech support is very responsive. I was shocked to report a small issue on a Saturday morning, and actually get a response within hours. Thanks!

  • Great for all gardener types

    This app has a lot of useful features such as a gardening calendar, garden guides/plans and generally a lot of helpful information about plants and what works for my zone! I like to plant a lot of different types of plants so this is a great tool to stay organized and on top of planting seeds, seedlings, or transplanting.

  • Easy to use interface

    Hope there would be varieties of vegetables added especially Asian veggies! Overall, very easy to use app. Thanks!
  • Question on changing planting dates

    Hello, app seems cool so far. I have a garden going now for several weeks almost 2 months now and I just downloaded the app today, how do I change the planting dates of my veggies so that the tasks and harvest dates are accurate in my calendar? The app says I planted everything today, however, everything has been in the ground for about 6 weeks and I did a second round about 1 week ago and I can’t edit the dates in which I planted.

    Is this possible? Could be an easy one as I’m a new user here.

    We are so glad you are enjoying the app! If you want to track the plants that you already have in the garden, when you tap on that plant, please select "Already in My Garden" and then you can specify when you planted it in your garden and the app will add the next activities for that plant (like harvest time). Hope this helps and happy gardening!
  • Good Start!!

    It seems like a pretty solid app.

    I haven’t actively used it as far as the planting aspect so I can’t talk about that functionality, but the general design seems good.

    I really like the calendar with the listing of veggies below and the months across the top. That feature will help someone like me who is very new to gardening know what items you can plant when.

    I wish there was information on companion planting. I’m not going to have a ton of room for my raised beds so I honestly think that would be helpful. I like the square foot data that’s provided, so you can tell how many plants per square foot, but having that companion info available in the app would just be that much better. You wouldn’t have to go find that data somewhere else and you could just stay in the app.

    Also looking forward to a larger plant database.

    This app has a great start, I’m looking forward to seeing how it develops. I can’t wait to get planting so I can put it to use and see it in action!!

    Thanks for the feedback! The good news is that in our next version (to be released this week) we are adding ten more plants: - Turmeric - Tomatillos - Sunflowers - Strawberries - Shallots - Loofah - Honeydew - Ginger - Chickpeas - Cantaloupe We are reviewing the companion planting, but it's not assigned to a release yet. Thanks and happy gardening!
  • I really want to like the app but

    I can’t get it to load past the first screen after entering my location. I’ve had it downloaded for a few days now and each day I try again but to no avail. Developers, if you can help I will happily adjust my review! I’ve been looking for something exactly like this but this he looked the most promising.
