User Reviews
I’m a serious gardener with a very large garden that provides all vegetables for our family and we sell and give away excess. This app is my favorite ever and the recent update that allows me to snap a pic of my seed pack (even on my saved seeds) is so helpful. I sow hundreds of seedlings each year and it’s so easy to keep track of them. Thank you! I run a countywide food gardening group and recommend this for beginners and experienced gardeners.
I am loving this app. It’s fairly simple once you get used to it. I love the companion planting, and succession planting notes. You can add other plants, pictures, and information to the app as well which has made it super useful to me… being able to print out the ‘information sheet’ would also be nice for our situation but not absolutely essential for everyone. I do wish you could sort items by the bed/place they were planted … my planting gets a little crazy and sometimes it would be nice to be able to sort by beds so I could figure out what I have growing. I definitely recommend this to others and love telling people about… great work!!!
Need more plants listed or at least the ability to add a plant and add your own information. Need to add flowers as well and auto calculate someone’s growing zone by putting in their ZIP Code.
I’ve found this app helpful to keep me organized and has nearly everything I would like. I love the planting suggestions for my area and the wish list with separate garden list. A couple thing I’d love to see added: the ability to add a quantity if you add a plant directly to the garden list. The ability to make a custom plant that isn’t on your list (love that you can edit harvest time and variety though!). Might be helpful to have the ability to see a spreadsheet of all your plants by week, month, year. Thanks for creating a useful app!
As a farmer and gardener, this app has helped with keeping me on track. Thank you!
I am excited to use this coming up for fall and spring. I would love to see Bell Peppers added - only see Chili Peppers and I’m not sure if it is the same parameters or not.
I love this app! It’s very easy to use and helps me keep track and plan for everything. Great job team!!
I live in the PNW, and entered my growing zone, but the harvest dates are wrong. I'm guessing the app cannot determine between a Seattle zone 7 and a sunnier/hotter zone 7.
After adding a plant the program locks up
This app is limited to maybe 50 vegetables. There are no annuals or perennials. That would have been nice to know on the front end.
