## What is SowWhat? Smart Garden Planner?

Stop guessing when to plant.

SowWhat? uses GPS to calculate your frost dates and 
build a personalized sowing calendar for your garden. Know 
when to start seeds indoors, when to transplant, and when to 
harvest — for every plant, every season.

SMART WATERING THAT THINKS LIKE A GARDENER
Most apps water on a generic schedule. SowWhat? uses real 
weather data and the science of evapotranspiration to track 
your actual soil moisture — and adjusts watering reminders 
based on what's growing and what stage it's at. Seedlings, 
fruiting tomatoes, and pre-harvest crops all need different 
care. SowWhat? knows the difference.

KNOW EXACTLY WHEN TO SOW
A visual sowing timeline for every plant in your garden — 
automatically calculated from your local frost dates. No 
more googling, no more guesswork.

NEVER MISS A HARVEST WINDOW
Your visual season calendar shows everything at a glance — 
what's germinating, what's ready to transplant, and what's 
coming up next.

GROW MORE WITH SUCCESSION PLANTING
Stagger your sowings for continuous harvests all season long. 
SowWhat? calculates your succession schedule and reminds 
you when it's time for the next batch.

PLAN YOUR ENTIRE GARDEN
Map out your beds visually. SowWhat? suggests the best 
placement for every plant based on spacing, sunlight, and 
companion planting compatibility — so every square foot 
works harder.

GROW BETTER TOGETHER
Know which plants help each other thrive and which to keep 
apart. SowWhat? flags companion planting combinations 
across your whole garden.

WEATHER-AWARE FROM DAY ONE
Live weather data tells you when your soil is dry and when 
conditions are right to sow. Pest watch alerts flag common 
threats based on your current temperature and season.

TIMELY REMINDERS WHEN IT MATTERS
Get notified when it's time to sow, transplant, or harvest. 
Frost warnings, succession nudges, and watering alerts — 
delivered when you actually need them, not on a generic 
schedule.
