## What is Tomate & Basilic?

Tomate & Basilic turns the vegetable garden you have in your head into a real plan, then helps you keep it going all season.

Draw your garden plot by plot, put your plants where they actually belong, and let the app tell you what to do, and when.

DESIGN YOUR GARDEN
• Create a garden, add your plots, draw a plan for each one
• Place your plants to scale, with the real spacing between rows and between plants
• Slide through the months to see the same plot in March, in July, in October
• Two tools do the tedious part: one splits a list of plants into plots that get along, the other lays out a plot from its size — or from the quantities you want to grow

KNOW WHAT GOES WITH WHAT
• More than 1,700 documented interactions between plants, pests and helpful wildlife
• Test any two plants and get a clear answer, with the detail behind it
• Ask for a full combination report on a plot you have already planted
• Every plant page lists its good and bad neighbours, what it attracts and what it repels

A PLANT LIBRARY THAT ACTUALLY HELPS
• Close to 300 plants, with sowing, planting, flowering and harvest periods
• Sun, water, soil and pH needs, spacing, adult size, life span
• Step-by-step growing guides, with a reminder suggested at each stage
• A calendar of what to sow and plant this month
• Add your own plants: link one to the tree of life and it inherits a calendar and a list of companions

KEEP TRACK
• Reminders with notifications, and a Home Screen widget for the day ahead
• A logbook for everything that happens: sowings, harvests, pests, observations, photos, quantities, weather
• Attach an entry to a whole garden, a plot, a group or a single plant
• One search across your gardens, your plants and your logbook

YOUR GARDEN STAYS YOURS
• The app works offline, and there is no account to create
• Everything lives on your iPhone and syncs through your own private iCloud, so your iPad shows the same garden
• You can delete all of it, from the app, whenever you want

FREE, AND PERMACULTURE+
Free: one garden, two reminders per garden, the whole plant library, the combination tools, and a daily taste of both design tools (plots up to 2 m, layouts up to 5 plants).

Permaculture+ unlocks everything: unlimited gardens and reminders, plot plans up to 15 m, layouts with up to 50 plants, the design tools without a daily limit, your garden's local forecast, your own weather alerts (rain, temperature, snow, wind, storm) and its automatic weather history.

Permaculture+ is a one-time purchase. It is yours for good, no subscription.

Grown and coded in France.

### 1/5 — Inutilisable

*2025-05-21, version 6.0.3*

L’application est complètement inutilisable elle crash dès l’ouverture aussi bien sur iPhone que sur iPad

### 2/5 — Muchos fallos

*2024-08-12, version 6.0.1*

En si la aplicación y sus utilidades están muy bien. Pero no para de dar fallas; no se me añaden nuevas plantas, las acciones no funcionan y no me guarda datos, llega a ser frustrante :(

### 2/5 — Et des bugs pas résolus

*2023-11-25, version 5.2.1*

Bugs pas résolus depuis 1 an

### 2/5 — Gros bof pour moi

*2023-04-09, version 5.1*

Cette application n’est pas intuitive, et pas tres personnalisable. Les plans sont basiques, les associations de plantes aussi. Elle rame beaucoup. Pour une application payante je trouve que c’est vraiment limite.

### 1/5 — Ne marche pas

*2023-03-09, version 5.1*

Téléchargée aujourd’hui, bug tout le temps, appli non utilisable. Dommage

### 1/5 — Pas fini

*2022-08-12, version 5.1*

Une étoile car impossible de créer un potager depuis l’application celle ci reste bloquée à la création de celui ci donc j’en reste la

### 2/5 — Plutôt déçue

*2022-05-31*

J’ai payé pour une année, je reste au Canada 
La météo n’est pas fiable … 
Pas extra de devoir faire certaines choses pour réussir à en faire d’autres, j’ai pas envie de jouer 
Les concombres ne vont pas avec les courgettes, ils s’entrecroisent et se déforment !!!
Une bonne recherche sur l’internet a autant si non plus de résultats que cette application 
Merci

### 3/5 — Attention

*2022-05-17, version 5.1*

Bonne appli mais certaine donne sont contradictoire avec les sites de jardins spécialisé. Concernant les compagnons de culture idéal, exemple carotte et menthe sont à proscrire alors que l’appli considère que ce sont des compagnons idéaux

### 1/5 — Appli bcp trop chère vu le résultat !!!

*2022-03-15, version 5.0.8*

Ça ne fonctionne pas et bug en permanence. Extrêmement cher pour avoir une appli qui est très limitée, très lente et n’apporte rien. Hormis bien sûr vous proposer d’acheter tout un tas de choses et d’en faire la publicité.

### 1/5 — L'app crash au démarrage

*2021-11-27, version 4.3.6*

Impossible de lancer l'app sur iPhone 11 Pro (iOS 15.1). L'app crash au démarrage, je vois juste l'écran d'accueil avant qu'elle se ferme.
