Missing plenty of veggies, fruits, and herbs. No flowers or flowering herbs. Hasn't been updated since 2019, and the interface reflects that. Searching to plant requires you to scroll through every plant in the list instead of searching by name, type or variety. Quite limiting and slow to use. Could use some upgrades considering it's a paid app, but seems like it's abandonware at this point.
Like this app, but its missing some things. When you add a new plant it really should give the option to add an image. Also, the pre populated list is a little light... no blueberries, no cantaloupe plus many other things that I would think would be available. It would be cool if the people who use the app can create new plants that could be added to the full list. Otherwise it's a pretty good app that I'm going to keep using. :)
Great tools, suspect info. Tentative optimism, as I'm loving the calendar tools (and the Google calendar events are still valuable even if I change or abandon apps), and the general interface. But potatoes just aren't sown January or February in US 8a, even in the sunniest spot in a heat pocket, and many other suggestions are untimely. If the "prefab" plants were editable by users, we could correct things ourselves! I can hide them & remake from scratch but uck, and your notes would be lost
This is absolutely perfect!! It's simple , has a great selection of pre-made plant options . Very easy to use! The only thing I wish It had Wasa watering schedule & reminder that would take this app to the next level !
Nice app but quite limited. For example if you have two varieties of vegetables such as dwarf and climbing peas, it considers them both the same and says you have two plantings. And harvest dates aren't very accurate and there is no differentiation between sowing and transplanting on the calender for each plant, just a planting date. Would be great to have the extra date option in each listing so you have both sowing and transplanting dates listed. And I've never found the cloud option.
Like clarity & simplicity of interface, range of plants, & ease of interface with calendar reminders! Doesn't currently have garden map feature, alas, or apparently any calendar info re ongoing fertilizing? (big gaps!) Please add Fertilise & Harvest to per-month calendar view? (Only shows planting & transplanting now, not full range of garden workload?) Really hope dev may eventually add more flowers to make all-round garden tool (can add manually, but no cultivating info for most as yet).
A really useful little app. Please consider adding average germination times if the data wrangling isn't too much. I like the option for adding plants!
Pretty useful app. Would be better if it would give companion planting suggestions, what to plant or not to plant in the same place after other crops, and also suggest plants compatible with full or part sun, exposed or sheltered positions, pots or garden plots, and worldwide seasonal suggestions.
Love the app. Can a function be added to upload a photograph when you add a plant that do not appear in the pre-polulated list of plants. Thanks.
The app looks great. I do think it would be great to know the root depth of the specific plant. I plant everything in planters and would like to easily know in which planter I can plant what according to soil depth requirements.
Really good app, very informative. I would like it if you added pictures to the plants so we can see what they look like.
It is a nice simple app for only veggie garden. I would expect flowers to be included.
I like it a lot but really wish it also had reminders for things like fertalizer or fungicide. Other than that pretty great
Great, should give us an option to hide plants 3months and six months for quick crops.
best gardening app I've come across so far and I've tried quite a few, has vegies I want to grow where others didn't have all in one app
It's great for whats on there but it's very limited. Really need to add more plants.
do not purchase this app if you live in europe as it has no data. small fee to install but rip off as no info on which countries are not supported before you buy.
Careful immediately takes payment without your permission or even offering options once you click on the green button
love this app, best gardening app ive tried so useful, informative and user friendly! its my gardening friend 🌱
Only Garden app for Australian Garden. New update is Great update comes after so many years👍
Great app, information at your fingertips for your area.
Would like to be able to update pics all through the growing season .Good job with the app
Pretty much does everything I would want for a home farm that stocks us for the entire year.
What an incredible resource! Thanks so much!
It has the basic features I'd expect, and isn't overloaded with bells and whistles. Sure, the interface looks a bit dated, but rather that than eleventy code monkeys' wasted time on pixel polishing. The only thing that I feel is missing (or rather... that I can't seem to find), is an option for backups and/or export of data. --thanks for the response!
