SeedSow

Know exactly what to sow, right now

A seed packet says “March to May”. SeedSow starts from the frost dates where you actually garden and tells you what can go in the ground this week.

Your garden, not an average one

The calendar moves to where you live

March in Cornwall is not March in Aberdeen, and it is the opposite season in Auckland. Pick your region, or type in your own last and first frost, and every crop's window is worked out from that.

Thirty regions cover the United States, the UK and Ireland, Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand and southern Africa.

What it does

Four things, done properly

Sow now

Opens on the crops whose window is open this week, and says how many days each has left.

146 crops

Vegetables, herbs, salads, beans and fruit, each with its own calendar and a real growing guide.

Your garden

Log what you sow, bed by bed, and watch each planting fill toward harvest.

Reminders

Watering spaced to suit each crop, plus a sowing reminder when the window opens wherever you have a frost season.

Privacy, meant literally

Nothing leaves your phone

No account, no sign-in, no server of ours, nothing collected. Your garden is stored on the device and nowhere else, and every part of the app works with no connection at all. It reaches the internet only when Apple handles a purchase, or when you tap through to this site.

Settings can hand your whole garden back to you as a spreadsheet, and can wipe every trace of it from the phone.
