Leaftide is a garden planner for everything you grow: fruit trees, berry bushes, perennials, vegetables and containers. Record what you planted, where and when, and build a history that makes each season easier than the last. The catalog has 1,200+ plants and 1,500+ named varieties. Planting and harvest dates come from your local frost dates. The free plan covers 30 permanent plants and 15 seasonal plantings a season. Fruit trees and perennials, year after year Keep a care record for every fruit tree, berry bush and perennial. Log when you pruned, fertilized or divided, so next year you know what worked and what didn't. Leaftide works as a fruit tree tracker and a record of the rest of the garden at the same time. Plan your garden layout Draw your yard in the drag-and-drop designer: raised beds, rows, a square foot garden, pots on the patio, or a community garden plot mapped bed by bed. Spacing guidance shows how much room each plant needs, so the garden layout on screen matches what fits in the ground. A planting calendar for your climate Enter your location and Leaftide works out your frost dates. Seed starting windows, transplant dates and harvest times are based on where you garden instead of a generic zone chart. Your season on a timeline Every planting shows predicted dates for each growth stage. You can see the whole season at a glance, plan succession plantings and spot gaps from seed to harvest. The varieties you actually grow Log 'Cherokee Purple' tomatoes rather than just 'tomato', with planting dates, locations and notes. Over the years this turns into your own record of which varieties do well in your garden. Companion planting See which plants grow well together and which to keep apart when you fill a bed. Care reminders Set recurring reminders for watering, fertilizing, pruning and spraying, and get a notification when each one is due. Containers and small spaces Track pots, grow bags, balcony gardens and greenhouses alongside your beds. Who uses Leaftide • Fruit tree and orchard growers looking after dozens of trees • Raised bed gardeners who want a raised bed planner that keeps every planting and harvest • Vegetable gardeners who want a vegetable garden planner with last year's notes in it • Mixed gardeners growing vegetables, flowers and permanent plants together • Anyone who wants to remember what they planted where Free plan The free plan has no trial and no expiration date: up to 30 permanent plants (fruit trees, shrubs, perennials) and 15 seasonal plantings each season. Pro lifts those limits and adds the premium features. Leaftide is available in English, German, Spanish, French, Dutch and Italian. Your garden is also on the web, in any browser.
