A garden layout planner that fits the way you plant

Design your raised beds, patio containers, in-ground rows and GreenStalk-style vertical planters in one visual layout. Then space every crop the way you actually grow it. Traditional bed or row spacing, intensive beds, square foot squares, or your own custom inches (or centimeters). Seedtime works out how many plants fit either way. And your layout stays in sync with your planting calendar.

Row, intensive, square foot or fully custom spacing - set it up the way you want, per bed and per crop
Raised beds, containers, in-ground beds, and GreenStalk™ (or other) vertical planters - plan crop sequences per bed, tier, or pocket
It tells you how many plants fit in a space - and even gives you companion planting suggestions per crop

Gardeners who stopped guessing

From garden overwhelm to ease

"Before Seedtime I was using 4 different tools to plan, schedule, map and track my garden: a calendar, a notebook, a spreadsheet and a computer. Seedtime is so comprehensive it consolidates all of these tools into one program. For the first time in 5 years of gardening my desk isn't overflowing with post it notes, seed packets or calendars and I don't feel overwhelmed planning my spring garden."

"Seedtime takes all the stress and mental load off of planning out your garden. It is so helpful to create your calendar of crops once and have the tasks pop up through the year: just follow along!"

"I've seen lots of ads for different garden programs or apps or channels. I've watched webinars. I've checked out books. And I can confidently say, after using Seedtime for the last month, this program absolutely blows everything else out of the water."

"Seedtime has saved me an incredible amount of time, effort, research, and money. Instead of spending hours figuring out what to plant, when to start seeds, when to transplant, and what needs to be done each week, Seedtime puts it all in one organized place."

"I have found it especially useful for planning out successions of "fast maturing" crops (lettuces, dill, cilantro, Asian greens, etc); I no longer have big gaps during the growing season when I'm regretting that I didn't start another succession."
