## What is GrowPlan?

A kitchen garden is easy to start and hard to keep track of. GrowPlan holds the details - what is in each bed, when to sow, what needs water and what you actually picked - so you can spend the time growing instead of remembering.

156 crops across 16 botanical families, on a sowing calendar that moves to match your own frost dates rather than someone else's.


NEW TO GROWING?

Start with one bed. GrowPlan tells you what can go in the ground this month, how far apart to space it, and roughly when it will be ready. Today's jobs appear on the home screen the moment you open the app, so there is never a question of what to do next.

• A sowing calendar adjusted for where you garden, not for southern England
• Frost dates estimated from your location, and correctable if you know yours better
• Plain-language growing notes for every crop
• Watering and feeding reminders you can switch off any time
• Companion suggestions, so what you plant together helps rather than hinders


BEEN AT IT A WHILE?

The parts that matter over years, not weeks. Every position in every bed keeps its own record of what grew there and when, and the planner tells you which families are still resting and which are clear to go back in. Weigh what you pick and the totals tell you which crops earned their space.

• Multi-year rotation history, per position, kept even after a crop is pulled
• Rest periods worked out per botanical family
• Harvest log with per-crop totals and a best-crop-of-the-season figure
• A garden journal that keeps your notes with the season they belong to


WHAT YOU GET FREE

As many gardens as you like, the sowing calendar, the plant database, companion planting, this season's crop rotation warnings, the journal and the full harvest log. No time limit, and no advertising anywhere in the app.

A NOTE ON YOUR DATA

Your garden stays on your device. GrowPlan has no account, no sign-up and no analytics following you around. The only thing it sends anywhere is your garden's rough location, to a weather service, to fetch a forecast.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-09-17

The sowing calendar now knows the difference between sowing and planting, and between a windowsill and the ground.

• Fruit trees, bushes and canes are listed for planting in their bare-root season, not for sowing — no more "Sow Apple indoors".
• Every plant carries its hardiness, so tender crops like chillies and tomatoes are shown under cover, half-hardy ones move outdoors after the last frost, and hardy ones go straight in from March.
• Root crops that resent transplanting are only ever sown in place.
• Sweet peas get their autumn sowing back, in pots under cover.

Also: if your garden data ever fails to open after an update, GrowPlan now keeps the file rather than starting again.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-13

No release notes.
