Plan, plant and keep what your vegetable garden teaches you.

A garden planner app instead of notebook, notes and calendar.

Plan your kitchen garden, raise your seedlings, follow sowing, watering and harvest. It's in your pocket out in the garden too. Whatever you try and observe goes straight into your garden journal, right where it happens. You plan next season and your crop rotation from there. It also makes sure you don't forget a thing.

It's completely free to use.

Features

Seven modules for your kitchen garden, all on the same map.

01Garden Planner

Vegetable garden layout, drawn the way your garden looks.

Draw your garden map with beds, raised beds, a greenhouse, paths and trees, or just enter how many beds you have and the map is ready. Resize, rotate and name each one, and give it your own code (T1, L7). For years your sowing, crop rotation and watering build on this map.

  • Path, hedge, tree and pond so the map is recognizable
  • Grid, snapping and rotation for a precise layout
  • Your own bed codes, used by sowing and watering too
02Garden Journal

A garden journal with photos, by bed and by plant.

With your phone's camera you take several photos in a row for your garden journal and tag each one to a bed or plant right there. Data from the planners goes in too, from seed starting and planting to harvest and yield. Later you can look back at what happened, like what attacked your tomatoes this year.

03Seedling Planner

Seed starting from sowing to planting out.

For each plant and variety you note how many seeds you sow, when you prick out and when you plant out, on a draggable timeline. Next to each planned date you add the actual one, and how many seedlings came up and made it into the ground. So you see how many seeds became plantable seedlings, and know how many to sow next year.

  • Sowing → pricking out → planting out on a timeline
  • Plan and reality side by side
  • Germination rate, like twenty-two seedlings from sixty seeds
  • Per variety, so you see which one germinates better
04Sowing Planner

Plan your vegetable garden bed by bed, sowing to harvest.

Bed by bed you plan what you sow and plant in your vegetable garden, and drag to set how long it stays. As the year goes on, the actual planting, the start of the harvest and finally the yield join the plan.

05Crop Rotation

A crop rotation planner that knows what grew in each bed.

The crop rotation table has one row per bed, with what grew there in past years beside it. You fill in this year's column right there. If you pick something that was in the same bed last year, it flags it. It doesn't forbid it, it just won't let you do it by accident.

  • Repeat warning, but the decision is yours
  • Three years by default, full history one click away
06Watering

A watering schedule in cycles, not weekly slots.

You plan watering in cycles, say every three days, assign beds to the days from the map, and from then on it keeps turning. Missed a weekend? Shift the whole cycle. Based on your local forecast it tells you when it's better to wait for the rain.

07GardenWiki

A planting calendar and plant guide, tied to your garden.

Sowing and planting times, growing guides and care notes for each plant, all searchable. Not a general encyclopedia, but tied to your garden and your plants, right where you're planning.
