  • GrowIt app for my garden

    This really helps first time/new vegetable gardeners. It even detects if you have had rain, so it lets you know when to water/ when not to water, when to fertilize, harvest, disease/ insects, and gives hints on how to care without insecticides. It also informs you on how to get and treat seeds and vegetables for growing the next season.

  • Great App for Beginning Gardeners

    Update: I didn’t continue far enough after taking a photo to find the days until harvest. If you use this from planting to harvest, this is a great app. Lots of info. The only complaint is that it doesn’t have info for several of the things I’ve planted, but it seems to have the basics.

    Great for beginners. Thank you developers for the answer!!

    I saw an add on social media that insinuated that you could take a picture of a fruit and it would tell you how many days until it is ripe. I thought, interesting, how can an app do that. I downloaded and started the free trial. I’m thankful for the trial because I don’t see anything in the app that tells you time until ripe. Nice try, but I won’t need the other info in the app. I can research pretty easily without paying a fee. I will say though, for a beginner gardener, there is some useful info all in one place. I just wish they wouldn’t give people false hope of functionality that is probably not even possible, let alone a function of the app.

  • Imo.

    Need more information on specifics of vegetables.

    Example: carrots.
    Not enough information about the different ways to germinate carrots, the pros and cons of transplanting compared to direct planting relating too just carrots.
    Maybe try and not have so many generic links to germinating, harvesting etc.

    Need more varieties of the plants and their subs and have a notification or similar that tells you if the vege/ flower are ready to plant indoors/outdoors according to your location as well as upcoming future planting suggestions.

    The app should tick off watering jobs if it has been raining.

    Apo would be great to have an insect management plan for invasive insects. Bug id , organic control vs chemical, especially to specific plants and how ton control and combat them.

  • love

    love it!! Would be nice to have the photos stored for each plant to see progress. Also It would be easier to see the data for each plant on front page versus clicking the edit button to see each plant
  • Very limited plant options

    I was excited to try this app- especially to layout my garden beds for each season. But I was only able to create one plant bed (?)- I need to have at least 4 different ones. It would also be helpful if you could create garden bed layout for each season, and have them at the ready, so to speak. I also was not able to find several of the plants I needed to add to my garden beds (for example dwarf Siberian kale). I understand it would be hard to have all vegetables/plants available, but perhaps there can be a way to add a plant to your library if it’s not in there? And then be able to add that into your garden bed plan.

  • What Free Trial

    Dishonest advertising. Claim you can have a free trial, when you sign up, the take the annual amount immediately. Hard to trial something when you have to pay for it immediately 😡

  • Good Information

    This is the first year I’ve had a vegetable garden so I refer to the app almost everyday for information. The only thing I wish was better is the weather, it’s always at least 10 degrees less than the actual temperature. I think that makes a difference in the watering schedule. At first I followed the reminders but found my plants were wilting. Other than that I like the app.

If you haven't already, please check that your location is set correctly in the app, as this can affect the weather data.

  • I love this app! There is nothing better out there.

    I love this app! There’s nothing better out there. I’m still trying to figure out some parts through, like the planting section, do I plant seeds at that time or established sprouts? I’m just not sure.

    Developer Response

    Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled you love the app! In the planting section, the app considers your local temperature and weather conditions to determine the best time to plant outside. This timing works for both seeds and established sprouts. You can either plant the established sprouts at the provided time or directly sow seeds outdoors when conditions are right. If you have any other questions, just let us know via support@growmyfoodai.com.
  • No use in UK

    I’m sure this app works really well in the southern USA but the planting times and suggestions for me in a cold damp corner of northern England are ridiculous. Plant okra outside a few weeks before the first frost? I can’t even grow it in a greenhouse. As for planting dock, sow thistles and dandelions, they already grow themselves far too well here. And yes I did put my location details in correctly. Sorry, I won’t be subscribing.
