"Wait — what did I plant in this bed last year?" You think it was tomatoes. You can't quite remember. This app is for the three minutes that question costs you, every spring, standing in front of the bed. ▼ It remembers every bed Bed 1, Bed 2, the south planter. Add them in the order they sit in your plot, then note what grew there last year. One allotment plot usually has three to six. ▼ Know on the spot whether you can plant Pick a crop and you get one of three answers — ready, check first, or too soon — with the reason written out:  "Tomato (Nightshade family) was planted in 2026/06. That was 0y 2m ago, and the guideline is 3–4 years" Planting the same family in the same place again and again invites soil disease and poor growth. The recommended gap for 86 crops is already in the app. We count in months, not years — a home garden often grows two or three crops a year, so years are too coarse. ▼ We show where the numbers come from Families and rotation years are taken from published sources. Where sources disagree, we show the longer (safer) figure. Where a source has nothing for the vegetable itself, the screen says "Family guideline". You can read the sources in Settings → Sources & licenses. We don't claim to know. Guidelines shift with your soil, the variety and the weather. In the end, look at the bed and decide. ▼ Log with or without reminders Tap a circle on Today to log watering, feeding, harvesting, weeding or spraying. You can log without setting a reminder, and attach a photo. Set a reminder only if you want one. Give summer a two-day gap and winter thirty — the interval can differ for every month. The next date is worked out the moment you log. ▼ Taking your data with you is always free We don't charge you to export your log and import it on a new device. Photos come too. CSV export opens in Excel. ▼ On this device only Your beds, plantings and care log are kept on this device. The one thing that leaves it is the message you write in Contact us. No ads. No account. ▼ Pricing Logging, reminders, photos, export and import are free forever, with no limits. One bed is free, and the rotation check covers that one bed. Pro (a one-time payment) is only for adding more beds and checking rotation on all of them. There is no monthly fee.
