This Is the Only Gardening App I Need ...Middle East

While Seedtime used to be simply one gardening app among many I used to manage my outdoor tasks, it has gained so much functionality over the years (for example, this week it debuted a new inventory management feature for your seeds and other garden inputs like fertilizer) that it has become an indispensable tool for planning and managing my garden. 

Project management for my garden

Seedtime’s calendar solves for this. It is focused on what you want to grow: You input all the crops you want, detail whether you’ll be starting seeds inside or out, or planting a start, as well as whether it’s a one time planting like tomatoes or a routine planting like radishes. Seedtime crunches all that data and translates it into a calendar that will tell you when to start the seeds, when to transplant them outside, and when to harvest. The app will suggest when to start seeding, based on the last frost date in your zip code, or you can choose a start date manually. 

I’m bad about succession planting in summer, even though I know I need to be on top of it. Seedtime takes all the manual planning effort out of the equation, so I simply need to follow the calendar it presents. 

Auto-generated task lists

Setting up these tasks could be done manually, sure, but having the app do it for me is a real time saver, if only for the flexibility it gives me: If it rains or is too hot to plant, tasks are easily postponed in the app, and those changes are synced back to the calendar. 

You can add as many additional tasks as you need to, for either your overall garden or a single crop. There’s a robust filtering tool so you can choose to, say, see only seeding or planting tasks. If you’ve used common project management tools like Asana or Monday, Seedtime's tasks will feel familiar.

The app makes it easier to keep a journal

But journaling is only useful if you remember to do it. Seedtime has a simple journaling feature that allows you to quickly input notes and/or photos, making it a lot more seamless. Photos are incredibly useful for being able to see when certain crops were popping last year, so you can see if you’re on track this growing season. They can also show you how the garden changes over time. Having the app at my disposal provides an excellent way to organize my thoughts, and keep them all safe and in one place—I misplaced my gardening journal last year for a month, and it paralyzed me.  Having all this data stored in the cloud means that won't happen again.

Track your inventory

Seedtime understands that, and so its inventory system allows you to enter all your seeds, but also note when they expire, how many you have, and where they came from. Seedtime links that information to the crop elsewhere in the app, so when you note that you have planted radishes, it depletes your inventory of radish seeds. You can also tie an item in inventory to tasks or a specific garden. It’s not only seeds: In Seedtime, you can store information about any garden input, from fertilizers, to pest treatments, to seeding or potting mixes. I was delighted when Seedtime reminded me to order more plant tags this year, because it was able to determine I was out long before I would've realized it.

A better garden layout planner

Next, you pull crops from that list that you set up in the calendar, and drag them onto the garden layout. Each crop has a designated size requirement, which you set up in the crop section, but you can change it on the layout panel; Seedtime will sync up the data in both panels. 

One of the best aspects of Seedtime is that I can access it on mobile and desktop. For repetitive tasks like entering inventory, or tasks where a mouse is useful, like creating a garden layout, the desktop app is invaluable. But the notifications and handiness of having everything on my phone while in the garden is necessary. Not a lot of apps offer both options. 

The app is free, but you can pay for more functionality if you need it

The app has recently added AI features that will suggest crops that will do well in your growing zone, suggest companion plants for what's already in your garden, or offer succession planting dates. AI tool access is based on credits, so free accounts get 10 credits, the $7 tier gets 100, and the $9 tier gets unlimited credits per month.

Seedtime is available on desktop, iOS, and Android.
