This free gardening app for iOS lets you name your garden, list what you are planting and it will create a handy to do so you know what to plant when. The Garden Time Planner app is brought to you by Burpees (a garden supply retailer). Next on our list of best gardening apps is The Garden Time Planner. The How To library has some helpful videos in it about garden structures, basic planting tutorials, etc.Download Garden Plan Pro Garden Time Planner The weather feature is nice so that I don’t have to open more than one app at a time. THIS IS AWESOME! All that work selecting plants, and now I have a customized to-do list that was auto-generated for me based on the species I selected. Some of the plant pages include helpful informational videos.Įach garden page also has a notes section. Luckily, for my summer veggie garden, I didn’t have any need for that – everything I’ve planted (and will plant) was already in the existing plant list. You can’t add plants that aren’t in Burpee’s lists. You browse the Burpee catalog, basically. You can add as many gardens as you want to – they each just need a unique name.Īfter you add a garden, you can “put” plants into it. …But setting up an account is really quick and easy. To plan your garden, it’ll require that you set up an account. This is maybe a handy feature, but not the cool part. Once you select a plant then scroll down and enter your zip code, you’ll see zone-specific information about that plant. Screenshots and Features: The “browse” feature is simple and great for just finding basic info about a plant. I will likely continue to plan my vegetable and more traditional gardens using this app, simply for the tasklist feature. When I plan my back fence garden bed, where I plant some exotic annuals, I expect that I’ll only be able to plan half of my garden using the app… and if I’m going to have to use excel and a notepad anyway, why use the app? The From Seed to Spoon app is similar to this app in its limited plant list, but at least Spoon is brand-agnostic. The ability to add your own plants to Burpee’s existing library would make this a major contender for handiest for planning. Basically, if it’s not a Burpee product, you can’t plan for it to be in your garden. ![]() In this Burpee app, the plant list that you can select from is pre-populated by the app (presumably a catalog of Burpee products), so you’re limited in what you can plan with. That’s definitely a major bonus of the Gardenize app, which looks like a major competitor to this Burpee app. The only major complaint that I have is that the app lacks the ability to add new plants to the list. (And as for the question about my process – yes, for just a simple backyard gardener, I do tend to get a little carried away.) Normally I would juggle excel, google, a farmer’s almanac, a million seed packets, and a notepad to get a planting tasklist put together for the spring, but with this app, I did it in just minutes. After a couple minutes of setup, I had a full to-do list for my summer vegetab e garden. The real pièce de résistance in this app is the task list that it generates for you based on the plants you select for your garden. ![]() It offers a long list of plants with basic zone-based planting information, some how-to’s, and weather information. However, the task list in Burpee’s app makes up for the limited information in my opinion. By far, Burpee’s guides in this app pale in comparison with the similar app from Scotts (“My Garden”). Though this app offers plant guides, you’ll just find the data that usually available on the back of a seed packet, so “guide” is a pretty loose term here. It’s not as sexy as Scotts My Garden or as Gardenize, but is exactly what it’s advertised to be – just a simple app for helping you to plan which plants you’ll have in your garden, and plan what planting tasks you’ll need to complete on which dates. My two cents:īurpee really did a great job with this app. Works best on Android 4.0 devices and above. Included within the app is a full database of plants, local weather, and links to how-to gardening videos. The app automatically creates a task list to notify the user when their next sow or transplant date arrives. The Garden Time app from Burpee is the perfect tool to help gardeners know when to sow, transplant and expect to harvest vegetables and herbs specific to their garden region. Gardeners who lose seed packets immediately after planting, TBH.Who should use this Garden Time Planner app: Planning your garden of Burpee plants, looking up planting information, organizing plants by bed, generating a task list, and checking weather.
