## What is Veggie Garden Planner?

The Veggie Garden Planner provides you with clearly arranged information that you need to quickly compose your vegetable garden patch.

Before purchase we provide a free download so you can see for yourself what value the app provides.
 
Choose vegetables that harmonise well together. You will find information regarding good/bad neighbor plants for each vegetable.

For your chosen garden composition you get tabular overviews to quickly determine sowing/harvest times, and which interactions exist between vegetables.

As a purchasable bonus feature, you can visually arrange your vegetable patch with our Patch Plan Editor - with vital information regarding planting distance & good/bad neighbors at your fingertips. 
You will also be warned of problematic crop rotations, e.g. if you place two plants with strong soil depletion at two consecutive seasons! 

Note regarding the climate zone: The seedtimes and harvesttimes are adjusted to hardiness zones USDA 7-8 (e.g. Atlanta, Seattle or Central Europe). Please adapt accordingly.

### 1/5 — Do not buy this app

*2026-06-10, version 1.36*

This app is awful. It keeps charging me and yet will not let me use the features and keeps demanding I sign up. There is no reason to buy this and I have been trying to get the charges stopped through Apple as there is no contact for the developer

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-06-09, version 1.36*

Great app. Useful information

### 3/5 — Consider trials

*2026-01-17, version 1.36*

Couldn't test the app out sufficiently without paying for a year, and didnt see a trial offered

### 3/5 — Pourrais être meilleur

*2025-10-23, version 1.36*

L’application a du potentiel
Sa serait super bien de pouvoir rajouter des légumes ou des variétés pour pouvoir mieux enrichir la liste et être plus polyvalent
Et de rajouter plus d’options sur le zonage de plantation comme modifier l’espacement des plant ou de la taille des planches de culture 

Donc pour l’instant même si c’est limite, j’espère que l’application pourra continuer à s’améliorer 
En espérant que le(s) développeur(s) voit mon message

### 5/5 — The Newbie Review

*2025-07-27, version 1.36*

The Vegetable Garden Planner is easy to use and get a quick idea of how your potting should be scheduled. 
The pictures also helped a newbie identify specific herbs to pot and when I could hopefully see it come up. 

Although I am not concerned right now, too much about what is planted where, it is interesting see the “friends and foes” of the garden.

### 1/5 — Mito

*2025-05-16, version 1.36*

Tout payant rien de pratique nul

### 4/5 — Plats needs update

*2025-05-03, version 1.36*

Love the improvement thank you, can you add water and sun icons in the plants information. Can add it like 1 water drop = low to 4 water drops = high. Same for sun, 1 sun shade to 4 suns direct sun all day. Besides that for now awesome app. Ty

### 2/5 — Manque trop de légumes et informations

*2025-05-02, version 1.36*

L’application pourrait être intéressante mais elle fournit trop peu d’informations sur les légumes et la liste est bien trop courte trop de légume absent pour en faire quelque chose de bien et complet

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2025-04-29, version 1.36*

I’ve had this app for years it’s been really helpful and encouraging. I pick it up and drop it again but always go back to it. I’m hoping to use more of the features this year. I hope it remains cheap even better free. So I can continue learning

### 5/5 — Sehr gute Planungsapp

*2025-04-26, version 1.36*

Zwiebel und Kohlrabi sind keine guten Nachbarn, es wäre schön wenn das korrigiert werden würde. Und eins meiner Beete ist ca 12 m. Im Beetplan kann man bei so einer Größe nicht ganz rauszoomen. 
Ich bedanke mich für das entwickeln dieser App das erleichtert das Gärtnerleben. 😉
