Awesome

My go to gardening application 👌👍

Only veg

I’ve just started using the app & it seems to be good for veg seedlings but I would like to keep track of fruit trees & the associated tasks for them eg when to spray & prune

Very solid planting guide and tracker

I have been using Gardenate for some years now and decided to look around at what else was in the market out of curiosity. Anyhow, I came straight back to Gardenate as it does exactly what I need without being overly complicated. I absolutely love the fact that it is a one time payment of a few dollars and not a pay by month/year subscription like many others.

Most amazing little app

I’m a serious gardener with a very large garden that provides all vegetables for our family and we sell and give away excess. This app is my favorite ever and the recent update that allows me to snap a pic of my seed pack (even on my saved seeds) is so helpful.
I sow hundreds of seedlings each year and it’s so easy to keep track of them. Thank you! I run a countywide food gardening group and recommend this for beginners and experienced gardeners.

Get it!

I actually love this app. I’ve had it a few years and haven’t always used it to its potential but this season I’ve really loved it. I love the feature where you can scan your seed packet and it recognises all the details and I can throw the dang packet away and still know what variety to get next season. Totally worth the price! I’m in the waikato so any help we can get! Haha
