A full seasonal planting plan from a plain-English brief.
Describe what you want to grow, when, and what space you have. The AI planner reads your garden history, checks what's already in the ground, and produces a detailed planting schedule with variety suggestions, spacing, succession timing, and follow-up tasks.
Knowing what to plant and when is a skill that takes years to build. Getting the timing right — so seedlings go in when frost risk has passed, so summer crops don't follow other summer crops in the same bed, so your brassicas have enough lead time before the cold — requires knowing your climate, your soil, your specific varieties, and what's already in the ground.
Most gardeners either follow a generic calendar that doesn't match their location, or they improvise and then wonder why yields were poor. The AI planner bridges the gap: it takes your brief and your garden history and produces a schedule that's actually tailored to your space.
Write a brief in plain English
Describe what you're trying to achieve. "I want to focus on salad greens and tomatoes this spring, I have beds 1, 2, and 3 available, and I want to succession plant the lettuce so I'm not getting it all at once." You can be as detailed or as vague as you like.
The planner reads your garden
Before generating anything, the planner reads your current plantings to see what's already in the ground, checks the history of each bed to understand rotation patterns, and looks at your previous seasons to see which varieties have performed well for you specifically.
A full schedule is generated
The output is a structured planting schedule: what to plant, which bed to use, when to sow seeds indoors vs direct sow, when to transplant, approximate spacing, and any succession gaps to leave between plantings. Timing is based on your location's seasonal calendar.
Follow-up reminders are created
The planner can generate a set of reminders to match the schedule — sow seeds on this date, transplant on this date, check for pests at this stage. These land in your reminders list and appear on the dashboard planner card.
Save, refine, and track progress
Plans are saved so you can refer back to them, compare them to what actually happened, and refine the brief for next season. You can have multiple plans in draft at once — a spring plan and an autumn plan, a salad plan and a root crop plan.
A generic planting calendar tells you what to plant in spring. The AI planner goes further:
- It knows what's already in the ground. No point recommending bed 2 for tomatoes if bed 2 already has brassicas mid-season.
- It reads your harvest history. Which tomato variety gave you 18kg? Which zucchini was a disappointment? It factors this into variety suggestions.
- It respects crop rotation. Bed history tells the planner what was grown where in previous seasons, so it can avoid planting the same family in the same spot two years running.
- It accounts for companion planting. Based on what you're planning and what's nearby in your layout, it surfaces companion suggestions that are relevant to your specific beds.
- It handles succession timing. If you want salad greens over a long period, it spaces plantings so they mature one after another, not all at once.
When the planner suggests varieties, it starts from the plant library's curated database of vegetables, herbs, and fruit, filtered for your climate zone. Then it cross-references your garden history. If you've grown Cherry Roma tomatoes before and your harvest notes say "excellent flavour, prolific producer", that variety ranks higher than something you've never tried.
If you've only just started, the suggestions come from the plant library with no history filter — but as your records build up over seasons, the recommendations get progressively more tailored to what actually works in your specific conditions.
When you save a plan, it appears as a card on your customisable dashboard. The card shows the current season's plan at a glance: what's coming up next, which plantings are overdue from the plan, and a quick link to review the full schedule.
You can have one active plan pinned to the dashboard at a time, with others saved in the background. Switch the active plan as the season changes.
