HomeSown is your all-in-one gardening companion. Whether you are starting your first raised bed or managing a full backyard plot, HomeSown helps you know what to plant, when to plant it, and how to care for it all season. Plan your beds, track every harvest, and get answers the moment you need them. What You Can Do Plant library Browse hundreds of vegetables, herbs, fruits, and flowers with practical growing guides, spacing, sun and water needs, and toxicity notes. Garden tracker and journal Add the plants you are growing, log your harvests, and keep a running history of your garden year over year. HomeSown sends watering reminders that follow your local weather, and credits recent rain so it never tells you to water beds the sky already watered. Plot planner Design your beds visually, place plants to scale, and get warnings about spacing, sun, and good or bad plant neighbors as you plan. Planting calendar Get frost-aware reminders for when to start seeds indoors, plant outside, and expect your first harvest, based on your local zip code and USDA zone. Premium features (requires a paid subscription) Some features require HomeSown Premium, a paid auto-renewing subscription.

One quick look through the HomeSown app and I knew immediately what to do to save my plants! And that’s just ONE of the many features it has!! A must have for all gardeners! **Developer response:** Thank you, Cath! This is exactly why we built HomeSown.

Good luck on your new garden, and keep exploring those other features! Reach out at support@homesownapp.com anytime you need us. ### 5/5 — Makes gardening easy! *2026-07-14* So easy to research plants and pests with the huge library of information available. But what I love the most is the AI features on the paid subscription. They allow me to take a photo of my harvest and automatically log it and the recipe generator suggests recipes I never would have thought about with the ingredients I have on hand and from the garden! *Chefs kiss!* **Developer response:** Thank you, this made our day! Photo harvest logging and the recipe generator are two features we're proud of, so it means a lot that you appreciate them. Anything you need, reach us at support@homesownapp.com.
