Garden Planner: VegLog

Know what to sow, when to plant out and what's ready to pick, all timed to your own frost dates. Draw your beds to scale, see what's growing in each one through the year, and keep a record of every harvest.

From a first raised bed to a full allotment, VegLog is the garden planner and journal for people who grow their own.

PLAN YOUR BEDS TO SCALE
• Draw raised beds, garden beds, allotments, greenhouses, polytunnels and pots in any shape: rectangle, round, L-shaped or your own
• Lay out crops in squares, blocks or rows, with the right spacing and a plant count for each block
• Slide through the year to see what's in the bed on any day, and what could go in when a crop comes out
• Advice as you plan: good and bad neighbours, crop rotation, frost risk for tender crops, crowded spacing and crops out of season
• Start from a template, such as a salad bed, three sisters or kitchen herbs, or let VegLog suggest a plan for the crops you want to grow
• Share a picture of your bed

SOW AT THE RIGHT TIME
• Your last spring and first autumn frost dates, worked out for your town from the last few years of Apple Weather data, or enter your own
• A sowing chart for every crop, set to your frost dates: when to sow indoors, sow outdoors, plant out and harvest
• Sow now: everything you can sow this month, at a glance
• Crop plans with succession sowings and reminders, so there's always something coming ready (Pro)

YOUR WEEK IN THE GARDEN
• Today brings together this week's sowings, to-dos and crops ready to pick
• Advice from your local forecast: fleece tender crops on a frosty night, water early on a hot day, skip watering when rain is on the way
• A round-up of the week ahead every Saturday morning
• A frost alert the evening before a frost, in time to cover tender plants (Pro)
• A Home Screen widget with this week's jobs to tick off, plus Lock Screen widgets
