GardenWise uses your exact coordinates and real frost history to plan seed starting, planting, watering, and feeding for every plant in your garden. Then it pings you only when there’s a real job to do.
Peppers want about eight weeks indoors before they go out. Tomatoes want six. Squash barely needs a head start at all. GardenWise works out the date for every crop from your last frost, then walks you through it.
Never started a seed? The built-in Seed starting 101 guide covers what to buy and how to do it, in five short steps. Seed-starting dates are free.
Most planting advice just gives you a month, or a zone map. That means the same tips for a foggy coastal patio and a sunny valley forty miles away, because a zone was never really built to know the difference.
GardenWise uses real frost history for your exact spot, so every date fits the garden you actually have.
GardenWise isn't just a checklist you have to manage yourself. It keeps an eye on your plants' actual stage and the weather, then tells you exactly what to do: start the peppers indoors, sow more arugula, feed the lemon tree. It only pings you on days there's a real job. Watering comes as one short plan on Sunday, not a buzz every morning.
Arugula grows fast and bolts within two weeks, so GardenWise reminds you to plant more before you run out. Carrots get a reminder every three weeks. Peas skip it, since summer heat ends their season anyway.
Citrus trees like to be fed every month while they're growing. Figs barely need any food at all; feed one too much and you'll get lots of leaves but no fruit. GardenWise knows the difference for every plant, instead of giving you one generic reminder for everything.
Every harvest you log adds up to a real recap of your season: how much you picked, your longest streak, which crop came in earlier than last year. Once you've logged two seasons, GardenWise Pro compares them automatically.
