Pocket Gardener vs KeepDates

Pocket Gardener is a tracking tool for people who grow things. Not a Pinterest board. Not a chatbot pretending to know your soil. This is a utility — built for dirty hands, bad lighting, and the ten seconds you have between watering and dinner. SEED PACKET INVENTORY Scan it, type it, toss the packet in the box. Your seed collection lives in your pocket now — searchable, sortable, always with you at the garden center when you're trying to remember if you already bought basil. GARDEN LAYOUT Draw your space. Place your beds. Plan what goes where, then track what actually ended up there. The planner holds your intention — reality holds the truth. Both live side by side. SEED STARTING Build trays, fill cells, track germination and true leaves. Pot up when they're ready. The app follows your seedlings from tray to bed — you just tell it what happened. GARDEN TRACKING Mark germination. Record what died, what got eaten, what surprised you. Drop timestamps on the things that matter and skip the things that don't. THE JOURNAL You don't write it. It writes itself. Every seed you start, every tray you fill, every milestone you mark — it all lands in a timeline. Add a note or a photo when you feel like it. Don't when you don't. TOOLS Frost risk, companion checks, soil calculators, time tracking — a drawer full of sharp tools for the questions that come up mid-season. GARDEN INTELLIGENCE (PREMIUM) Consultant-grade recommendations built on your actual space, your zone, and your goals. Not generic advice from a content farm. No gamification. No streaks. No cartoon vegetables telling you good job. Just a record of what you grew, when you grew it, and what you learned.
