What's New in I Have a Garden

2.0

November 1, 2026

• New plant: the tomato. It lives 96 real days, twice as long as the zucchini, and can give up to 20 tomatoes. It climbs tied to its stake and grows 7 to 10 main branches, depending on the seed. • The tomato plant doesn't get weeds: it gets suckers between the stem and the branches. Prune them with the shears before they steal its water and strength. The shears lose their edge with every cut, and you sharpen them on the stone. • Both plants grow at the same time, each in its own plot. The switch at the top takes you from one to the other, and the tool you had picked stays selected. • The tomato plant brings its own seeds, its own chimera tomato and new achievements, with its own tab in Achievements. • The watering can and the fertilizer and neem oil sprays now have 20 uses, and more as your gardener rank goes up: 24 at rank 4 and up to 30 as Master gardener. • Two widgets, one per plant. Tap one and the game opens on that plant. Notifications also go by plant, with its name, and at most one a day for each. • In Settings you can replant one of the two to start over with it. The other one keeps growing. • Playable with VoiceOver: every leaf with pests, weed and fruit is read out with where it is on the plant, and the minigames have an option for screen readers. • And a lot of fixes and improvements along the way.

Fun game, but, I have a small VoiceOver Issue.

I like this so far, but I can't seem to use tools with VoiceOver on. When I select a tool, and then go to use it with the button that says use selected tool on plant, the button doesn't do anything. I have to turn VoiceOver off to do anything with my plant. Other than that, everything is labeled properly.

Used to be good

This game used to be a nice slow-paced idle game to open a couple times per day, but the developer recently added required ads to refill water/fertilizer and that killed all my interest.

Response from developer

Thank you for writing this, and for playing since the early versions. I don't like the ads either. I make I Have a Garden alone, and so far they are the only way I have found to keep working on it. On November 1 the tomato plant arrives. From that update, the watering can, the fertilizer and the neem oil hold more as you reach higher gardener levels, so you will need to refill less often. I hope you give it another try. Rafa
