Do you ever gaze at those perfect-looking gardens and think it's just not possible for you to do? Well that's not true at all; you just need a little guidance and help and then you do can be showcasing a beautiful and lush garden all your own.

Planting Season
With this app there is no need to wonder when planting season actually is because it lets you know the best time to plant. All you have to do is identify what it is you want to plant and then the app will give you instructions on when it's best to plant it outdoors and indoors. So how does it know this information? It uses your device's GPS to determine where you are located and base the info given on your climate.

Planting items in your garden at the wrong time pretty much guarantees they won’t grow. In addition, it’s a waste of your time and money buying the seeds to plant only to have them not take. Think of this app as your gardening assistant so the guesswork is taken out.
Using the App
The information you will find here is provided by Organic Gardening magazine. For those unfamiliar with the magazine it has actually been around for 70 years so you can trust what you read. It is known for offering incredible gardening tips, advice, and ideas.

If you're wondering what plants this app covers, it takes a look at annuals and perennials. It covers flowers, herbs, and vegetables. There are a wide range of items discussed so you are sure to find at least most of the items you’d like to plant.
Now unfortunately as great as the content is, the user reviews on this app are not generally very positive. Many people are upset with the most recent update that caused them to lose all their stored information. There are complaints about bugs in the app, and the performance is fair at best. My own experience with the app is mixed. I find there is a large amount of information here that is certainly helpful but I agree with the users that it’s just not at all user-friendly. The information is so slow to load and display that it makes me lose interest.
