See it in action

How it actually works.

Three things you'll actually do: find what to grow, get it planted, and keep the season on track.

1. Find what to grow

Browse plants you can actually grow

Filter by vegetable, herb, sun, and more. Every card shows your planting window up front — so you know if it's worth growing before you open it.

2. Plan your garden

Track every bed, row, and plant

See what's in the ground, what's still to plant, and what needs attention today. Overdue tasks bubble up before they turn into lost crops.
