Not amazing, but it’s good enough for what I need (which was mostly plant spacing and figuring out the plants are beneficial to one another.) I’m hoping that since I bought the license I will benefit from upgrades. This feature needs some more development, in my opinion. If you made a set of my dibbles to speed up your square foot planting, this. So handy Print Square Foot Planting Guide. Look up the vegetable, fruit or herb that you want to plant, and it’ll tell you how many to plant per square. Sometimes I had to attempt to delete an item multiple times. If you’re a square foot gardener, this square foot planting guide is a must. It’s a drag and drop, but getting it in the exact spot was a challenge. I found deleting and moving veggies to be finicky too. I wish it would stay on until I turned it off. I also had to select the “tap to plant “ feature over and over. Single tap to plant, long tap for information. (I found that I was always accidentally tapping the information instead of planting).

I’m trying SFG this year so I thought I would try it. I have used territorial seed garden planner for years, but it’s about $20/ year. It is a testament to this app’s intuitiveness and reliability that a less tech-savvy person like my mom was able to master it and get so much value from it. I thought she might find it interesting, but didn’t expect her to use and enjoy the app as much as I do! She even learned a few plant relationships herself, which is amazing considering her encyclopedic knowledge. I mentioned the app to my mom who is an expert gardener and sometimes struggles with technology. Wow! I went ahead and upgraded, not because I really need the features (the basic app has all I need as a beginner with a single 10’ x 10’ plot) but to support the app so it can continue to exist and improve. At first, I just wanted an app to help me remember what I planted where (I didn’t have fancy signs or even stakes handy to label anything!) Then I found this app which goes beyond simple mapping with the companion/combative plant feature, telling you what plants like and dislike each other as neighbors. I started using this app to plan out my garden as a novice.
