Seed and Spade: Garden Planner

i really like the concept of this app and it is easy to use. however, there are not many types of produce to choose from. specially if your planting a specific kind of vegetable. ex. no jalapeños which are totally different than an unnamed category of peppers. no flowers such as marigold to help distinguish where to plant in the garden.

This is my first time starting a garden at home or even keeping a plant alive in general. Was able to use the app to set up my garden in my raised bed and start with a few plants. The companion system came in handy as I almost planted basil next to my mint but luckily it warns you. App is simple enough to use and has enough information to get started for beginners.

Though the chart planning is simple enough; I am growing a few more seeds than what is represented on the chart. For example: you have squash, but not pumpkins; while some people may view them as in the same “family “ of plants, I don’t. Each seed should be individualized. I also am starting trees; apples and an avocado tree. Please add more seeds. Even oranges are different. A regular store bought orange and blood oranges, pear trees, and banana trees.. there should also be links available to multiple places on where we can get seeds for foods we want to try growing in our own back yards. With food prices skyrocketing, we want to be able to feed our families from the foods we grow so we’re spending less on groceries and able to pay bills or splurge on something else. We don’t need another 1920’s - 1930’s Great Depression; but the way prices are soaring (in my opinion) that’s where America and the world are heading unless we help our neighbors and go back to our roots of farming .
