New start screen. However you begin, you end up looking at a picture of your own yard instead of filling out a form. Garden Planner 3.0 is here. Answer a few questions and get a full site plan you can print. The old planner is still there if you prefer it. Fixed a bad one. Signing in on a second device could wipe your saved location and favorites. It doesn't anymore. Gardens outside Texas were quietly picking up Texas plants in a few spots. That's fixed. Care reminders are opt-in now, and the timing follows your region instead of a generic calendar. The analytics switch in Account actually turns everything off now. It used to leave part of the tracking running. Added Iowa to the state list. It was missing. Plus a new launch screen, clearer pet-safety filters across the planner and Patch Vision, and the Terms links moved above the button on sign-up.
