This isn’t a gardening app built by a company.

Two older men outdoors looking at a smartphone, smiling, with one man wearing sunglasses and the other wearing a straw hat.

It’s something I built for myself, after years of growing food in difficult conditions.

Different soils, unpredictable weather, and plenty of mistakes along the way.

I kept forgetting what I’d planted, when I’d done it, and what I’d promised myself I’d remember next time.

So I stopped trying to rely on calendars, notebooks, and half-remembered advice.

Instead, I built a simple place to keep track of my own garden — as it actually is, not as it’s supposed to be.

If you grow food in the real world — with your own climate, your own timings, and your own judgement — this will probably make sense to you.

You can explore how it works below, or just take a look at how I use it myself.

For the moments every gardener recognises

What did I plant — and where?

Easily record what you plant, where it goes, and when — so you always know what’s growing in each bed, even weeks or months later.

How much did I actually harvest?

Keep a simple record of what you harvest and when, so you can look back and see what really did well, not just what you remember.

What should I be doing this month?

Get a clear sense of what typically needs attention at this time of year — from sowing and pruning to feeding and general care.

Do I need to worry about frost?

Get a timely heads-up when frost is likely, so you can protect tender plants before damage happens — without constantly checking the forecast.

Is it the right time to sow this?

Check whether now is a sensible time to sow, so you don’t rush things — or miss the window altogether.

Just ask — and make sense of it

Instead of jumping between menus and websites, you can simply ask a question. The assistant helps you think things through — from planting and timing to plant problems — using the information you’ve already logged in your own garden.

Designed to support you

not overwhelm you

Your Growing Companion doesn’t try to tell you what to do at every step.
It’s there when you need clarity — and stays quietly out of the way when you don’t.

You can use it as little or as much as suits you.
