Features
Read full description

Bloomanac is a growing journal for dahlia people - from one raised bed to a commercial cut-flower field. Build a permanent library of every variety you grow. Record how each one actually performs: in the abstract, and in this bed, this season. Years of knowledge stay with the variety; the messy specifics stay with the planting. - Your beds, rows and plantings, mapped - Notes by voice - say what you see, standing in the row - A growing calendar that tells you what to do this week - First bloom, pinching, harvest counts, Brix readings - Propagation: cuttings, divisions, tubers on hand - Ask Sage, an AI that knows your farm and your season For commercial growers: sales projections, supply and cost tracking, a buyer list, and a shareable availability page florists can read without an app. Bloomanac works offline. Write a note in a field with one bar of signal and it is yours the moment you have any. Gardener is free. Enthusiast and Farmer add more Sage each month; you can also buy an unlimited month on its own. Bloomanac is free to use. Enthusiast and Farmer are optional subscriptions: • Enthusiast — $10.99 a month or $109.99 a year • Farmer — $34.99 a month or $349.99 a year • Sage Unlimited — a one-time $22.99 purchase that lifts your Sage limit for the rest of that month Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you buy.
