## What is GrowMore CookMore?

Plan it. Grow it. Save it. Cook it.
GrowMore CookMore is a year-round gardening and cooking app for home growers and allotmenteers in the UK and North America. From planning your beds in winter, through sowing and growing, to harvesting and cooking what you've grown — it's the garden companion you'll actually use every week of the year.

Growing guides for 84+ vegetables and fruit, region-specific for the UK and North America (USDA zones 3-10)
Frost date alerts and harvest forecasting so you know what's coming and when
Garden journal with photo timeline that tracks your plot through the seasons
Visual Garden Planner with drag-and-drop bed planning (Bumper Harvest)
300+ recipes that filter by what you've just harvested — eat what's ready
Freezer tracker — log your harvest, get reminded before it spoils
Companion planting guide — what grows well together, what doesn't
Head Gardener in-app chatbot for garden questions (paid tiers)

NEW: Pest and Disease Library — free for every user.
Something eating your lettuce? Spots on your tomato leaves? Holes in your brassicas overnight? GrowMore CookMore's new Pest and Disease Library helps you work out exactly what you're dealing with, and what to do about it.
Tap "What are you seeing?" and answer seven quick questions. Where's the damage, what colour, how fast did it appear, which crop. The app narrows the likely culprits as you go. Whatever's active in your region this month rises to the top.
40 pests and diseases for the UK. 57 for North America. Every entry written by gardeners, for gardeners — symptoms, lifecycle, organic treatment, chemical treatment, prevention. No AI guesswork. Just a proper guide for when something's wrong.
Three tiers, no pressure:

Free: pest library, basic growing info, sample recipes
Harvest (£4.99/month or £29.99/year): full recipe and growing access
Bumper Harvest (£6.99/month or £39.99/year): adds the visual Garden Planner

7-day free trial on paid tiers. Cancel any time.
Built by an allotmenteer in the North East of England. Tested on real plots, in real weather, by real gardeners.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.1.1 — 2026-08-26

bug fixes

### 2.1.0 — 2026-08-12

A big harvest this update — new ways to cook what you grow, and a smarter Seed Tin.

NEW: Cook From Your Harvest — tick the veg you've just picked (the app pre-ticks what's ready in your garden) and get recipes ranked by how many of your veg they use. Or tap "Invent me a recipe" and the Head Chef writes you a brand-new one around exactly what's in your trug.

NEW: Seed Shop — out-of-date seed in your Tin, or planning a crop you haven't got? Tap Buy and jump straight to trusted seed suppliers with a search for that exact variety. Works from your Seed Tin, shopping list and crop pages.

Seed Tin upgrades — log your own germination tests, track how many sowings you get from each packet, mark varieties grow-again (or never-again), and get a monthly "check your tin" nudge.

 Smarter packet scanning — the scanner now reads the front straight away, and only asks for the back when the sowing dates are hiding there. Buy a packet from the shopping list, scan it when it arrives, and it ticks itself off.

Fresh look — the Market Day design refresh, a tidier Home screen, and plenty of small fixes and polish throughout.

Happy growing — and now, happy cooking too.
