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.
