Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

I love this app, it’s become a useful tool on a daily basis for me. I recommend it to any new beginners or experienced gardeners. If there were some reminders about adding certain nutrients or homemade pesticides, this app would get a 5-star perfect.
CNav86
I’m finding that the information about watering and fertilizing is not always accurate. I have some plants considered 'easy' on the app that are a lot more difficult than others marked otherwise.
JGD50
The app should have more variety of vegetables to put on the garden planner. I was trying to plan my garden and couldn’t find the turnips I was growing nor onions. Very frustrating app as a limited amount of vegetables to choose from.
