Stop guessing when to sow. Plantera is the growing calendar and reminder app for home vegetable gardens ā calibrated to your climate zone, connected to frost forecasts, and packed with 114+ plants curated for cool-temperate growing. Whether you grow tomatoes on a balcony, have a raised bed in the back yard, or tend an allotment ā Plantera tells you what to do each week, plant by plant, so you actually get a harvest. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick your city. We set the right hardiness zone automatically (USDA 1-13 supported globally). 2. Add the plants you grow ā browse 114+ curated species or add your own. 3. Get reminders: when to start indoors, direct-sow, water, prune, plant out, harden off, and harvest. 4. One morning summary per day instead of 50 daily pings. Frost alerts come separately ā in time to cover up. WHAT YOU STOP GUESSING ⢠When to sow peas in your zone ⢠How often to water the tomato seedlings ⢠When to trim strawberry runners ⢠Whether tonight will be cold enough to protect the seedlings ⢠When to prune the fruit trees ⢠Whether to pick the tomatoes now or let them ripen on the vine MY GARDEN Annual statistics: how much you actually harvested, an approximate value, your top species, crop-rotation history. A living diary per plant with photos and notes ā so you remember what worked (and what died) for next season. FOR YOU IF YOU: ⢠Buy seedlings every spring and kill them by missing the watering ⢠Keep a garden notebook or Post-its on the fridge today ⢠Want a kitchen garden but don't know where to start ⢠Have been gardening for years but want exact harvest numbers ⢠Run a balcony + allotment + summer house and want them separated (multi-garden supported) MULTI-GARDEN City balcony + allotment + country plot ā all in one app, each with its own plants and reminders.
