CatchCrop: Veg Garden Planner

CatchCrop is a veg garden planner that works out every sowing, transplanting and harvest date from the frosts where you grow. Tell it your last spring frost and your first fall frost, and every date follows from those — not from a month-by-month calendar written for somebody else's climate. A garden in Georgia and a garden in Minnesota get different answers, because they should. Not sure of your dates? Start from one of four reference climates and adjust. YOUR GARDEN IN 3D Every bed is built in 3D at its real size and planted with what is in each square on any day of the year, from seedlings to a crop ready to pick. Play the season and watch the radishes come and go before the tomatoes go into the same squares. Plan lays the garden flat; Sun shows the hours of direct sun on each bed, with the shade of the fence, the shed, a tree and the tallest crops. Tap a bed to see what is in it and what comes next, move the beds to where they really stand, and add a shed, a greenhouse, a fence or a tree. BEDS, PLOTS AND POTS A raised bed, a community garden plot and a patio container are all the same thing to CatchCrop: a grid of one-foot (30 cm) squares. Add a planting in three steps — which crop, when it is sown, which squares it takes — and the bed tells you roughly how many plants fit. A square is only taken while something is in the ground, so a quick crop can go in ahead of a later one: a catch crop. Clear a finished crop and its squares are free again, while it stays in the bed's history. Plant brassicas, potatoes, onions, beans or carrots where their family grew in the last three years and CatchCrop says so. THIS WEEK Every planting's dates become jobs on one list across the whole garden. Check one off and it stays checked, even if you change the planting. Adding a crop that is already in the ground? Mark it already sown and its sowing arrives checked off. Turn reminders on and they arrive at 8 a.m. on the day, or leave them off and nothing ever buzzes. A JOURNAL PER BED Dated notes and photos, taken there and then or picked from your library, kept with the bed they belong to. What went in, what came up, what the slugs got. Check a harvest off and the date you actually picked is kept beside the date the app expected. NOTHING IS INVENTED There are no watering or feeding reminders: the crop library holds no watering data, on purpose, so CatchCrop only tells you what it can work out. THIRTY-ONE CROPS Each carries its own sowing window, whether it starts indoors or goes straight in the ground, how far apart it wants to be and how long it takes. Search by the name you would use: zucchini, eggplant, arugula. YOUR GARDEN, YOUR ICLOUD No account, no sign-in, no Mirentha server. Your garden lives on your iPhone and, when you are signed in to iCloud, mirrors to your own private iCloud database, so a new phone finds it waiting. Photos are not synced; they stay on the iPhone they were added on. WHAT IT COSTS Two beds are free for as long as you like. More than two needs CatchCrop Full, by the month or by the year; the App Store shows the price in your own currency before you confirm. If a subscription lapses, every bed stays where it is and stays readable; only editing beyond the free two waits for a subscription.
