Gardenate

GARDENATE is actually the longest surviving App on my iPhone. I came before any other App I ever downloaded and I remember myself being quite confused about what Apps actually were. It was then, and still is now, on my home page on my phone with my other most important go-to’s. I was a very big fan way back when it first went digital and I’ve stayed a loyal fan through various version improvements and as I have moved homes three times and my two children have been born, raised and now are at uni. They LOVE my gardens and our fresh home grown fruit and veges have always been a staple part of their lives and their school lunch boxes. And Clover the blue healer LOVES snow peas. I have learned a lot of wonderful tricks from GARDENATE, and I especially rely on it for the growing seasons and the planting diary. I use my instincts for harvesting times as they are so variable for so many reasons but remembering when I planted certain beds and crops is impossible for me and GARDENATE makes it so easy. I feel very confident knowing I am planting things at the right time, and then I rely on my own experiences and plant health to fine tune planting within my various microclimates. Huge fan. Always will be. If you have not downloaded the App, what are you waiting for?! You won’t regret it.

I have been using this app since it was created. It is absolutely foolproof. Even a child can understand what’s going on. You just click the month and there it is! Plant this or that seed in the garden, in seed trays or plant out seedlings. You can look ahead and get seeds or seedlings ready for the next month. Genius!

This app is fantastic for home gardeners of all levels of experience. Chris has been very responsive to comments and questions. Dan

Great app however there is no demo or FAQ section to get you started. There is no explanation of what terms like “seedling, seed trays or sow seed” mean in the app which is confusing as they could all mean the same thing and each term is used to work out harvesting time. It’s like you are expected to know what they are thinking. There is a forum to ask questions from other users but it’s missing a basic start up demonstration on how to use the actual app.

I really love this app. I have took it. I don’t use it for potential however, it gives me so many options. Would love to have a section where I can date when I have applied improvement such as compost or schedule this in with a reminder. It’s great having a reference in my pocket too. Keep up the great work🫐

Missing some basic things like Ginger, Turmeric and Horse Radish. Fruit trees would be nice too

I just got this app from PIP magazine’s recommendation. Have populated my calendar and already learned that a few things I planted aren’t going to work 😏 Please add passion fruit and more fruits in general - seems to be the main thing missing. Otherwise, I think I’ll be using this a lot and saving $$

Nice app though why doesn’t it cater for fruits?

It’s pretty stylish and good for tracking plants and harvest time. I highly recommend this for people wishing to keep track of everything veggie patch related. Fast and great app support too thanks

I refer many people to Gardenate as I find it essential in planning. It’s also good for school students to have a kitchen garden project. Everything is there, including a companion planting guide for each plant, spacing, even what not to plant. It isn’t a one size fits all as you can put in your zone settings & put in the details for your garden for the season such as when you plant each vegetable. Within each plant is a colour-coded system for seed raising, planting and harvesting. You can also personalise these. It’s well worth investigating what this app can do. Well done to the developer! Seriously, I don’t know what I’d do without it.
