Draw your beds, drop in your plants, and know when to start seeds, water, and harvest. 386 crops, 148 languages, and a growth simulator you won't find anywhere else.
Frost dates, companion rules, crop rotation, seed starting — it's all here. You just pick what to grow.
Design raised beds, in-ground plots, and containers on a visual SVG canvas. Drag, resize, and label everything.
Works anywhere in the world. Computes personalized frost dates and planting windows from 10 years of historical weather data.
Automatic synergy and antagonist detection. Green lines for friends, red lines for foes. Three distance tiers model real science.
A virtual seed-starting shelf with 24 slots. Track seeds from sowing through hardening off, then transplant outdoors with one tap.
Get flagged when you plant a crop where a related family recently grew. Avoid soil depletion and disease carryover.
Map your yard, place obstructions, and compute a heatmap showing sun exposure across every bed throughout the day.
Log rain, fertilize, track what's happening in each bed. The app keeps score so you don't have to.
Log rainfall with a slider. Water credits spread proportionally. The app knows when to water and when to skip.
6 NPK presets, paint-mode application, nutrient history per plot. Recommendations adapt to soil type and growth stage.
Log 8 observation types per plot. Health scores update dynamically. Status badges alert when action is needed.
Do the heavy planning on a big screen, then take your phone out to the garden when it's time to get dirty.
Pro-level planning tools on a full-size screen. Design beds, map sunlight, run simulations, and manage your entire growing season.
Walk your garden with the app in hand. Log rain, identify a plant, or record an observation — all with a tap.
Point your camera at a plant and find out what it is, what's wrong with it, or what's eating it.
5 identification modes: general plant, health assessment, disease, insect, and mushroom.
Upload a photo of a struggling plant. Get a diagnosis with confidence scores, descriptions, and treatment options.
Already have stuff growing? Snap a photo, ID it, and add it straight to your garden layout.
Copy your real garden into a sandbox and fast-forward through the season. A little animated gardener walks around tending your plots while day turns to night.
Real sun angles from your coordinates drive the lighting. Compressed night so you don't wait in the dark.
Clouds roll in, rain falls. The weather shifts naturally between clear skies, overcast, light rain, and downpours.
500+ scenario variations from 51 diseases and 49 pests. Learn to recognize symptoms before they hit your real garden.
Experiment freely. Clone your real garden, try different layouts, skip watering for a week — it's your sandbox.
A local artist is drawing every fruit and vegetable by hand, in their own style. You can also upload your own images to use in your garden or share with the community.
Each week we will update one or more vegetable tiles with hand-created art. February 20th gives us the tomato!

I'm an educator who enjoys gardening, camping, programming, languages, travel, and film. I've had some good experiences working on organic farms, botanical gardens, permaculture, and environmental cooperatives, although my educational background is in literature.
Recently, I have been having a lot of fun with my garden, and have tried to improve my results, and have tinkered around with some tools to do so, whether putting together a sensor array for real-time conditions in my garden, or creating an app to easily plan a garden with companion planting and crop rotation rules.
As I added to the app, I started to realize that it might be useful to beginners and experienced gardeners alike, and began to develop it to address those audiences. Although I am still polishing it and adding new features, I decided to give it a release before seed-starting begins, in the hope that it may be useful to some of you.
Although the first iterations were a bit sterile and simple, I have partnered with a local artist to gradually add a personal touch to the visual feel, one week at a time. Please let me know your thoughts!
