A gardening companion
Track seeds, log plantings, and plan layouts — without the spreadsheets, graph paper, or guilt.
The real problem
The seeds you bought last year. Which bed got the tomatoes. When you started the peppers. It's all in your head until it isn't.
You've bought Cherokee Purple three times. You know it. We know it.
"When did I start the tomatoes last year?" Silence.
Spreadsheets, notebooks, sticky notes, memory. None of it talks to each other.
Where did the squash go? What was in bed three? Good luck.
Seed Inventory
Scan a seed packet with your camera. We pull the details. Your inventory builds itself — searchable, organized, and accessible from the garden center aisle.
Garden Journal
Every task you log, every photo you take, every observation you make becomes part of the record. No journaling discipline required — your garden's story builds itself from what you actually do.
Garden Workbench
Graph paper that lives on your phone. Sketch raised beds, map containers, plan multiple gardens — front yard, backyard, community plot, indoor shelf. All in one place.
Lifecycle Tracking
The full arc — starting seeds under grow lights in March, potting up, hardening off on the porch, transplanting into the bed, first harvest in July. Every stage logged without thinking about it.
How it works
Point your camera at a packet. We pull the details. Inventory builds itself.
Planted? Tap. Watered? Tap. Harvested? Tap. Your journal writes itself from actions.
Next spring, you'll know exactly what you grew, when you planted, and what worked.
Free tools
Quick answers to the questions that interrupt your day in the garden.
Your zip code. Your actual frost dates. Not some national average.
How much soil for that 4×8 raised bed? The math you'd rather not do at the garden center.
Tomatoes and basil? Great. Tomatoes and fennel? Disaster. No guesswork.
Your zone, your space, your taste. A starting point that makes sense.
Our philosophy
"We built Pocket Gardener because every gardening app we tried felt like homework. This one shouldn't."
A gardening app should get out of your way. Log when you want. Skip when you don't. Your garden doesn't judge you, and neither do we.
