Speaking of furniture, if you have a laptop or an iPad, you can now plan right from the couch with your feet up and cocoa in hand. It’s like being able to move furniture with a finger. We love playing around with our plan-it’s half the fun of the whole planning process! Forget Paper and Penĭraw out garden beds, add or remove plants, and easily move plants around to create the perfect layout-it’s much more versatile and exact than pencil and paper! No erasing and erasing. Beds can be resized and moved as required until you’ve perfected your plan. In other beds, some crops are fine to repeat. That’s because this is where we grew them there previously, so now we know to move them elsewhere to avoid fostering tomato pests and diseases in that bed. For example: If we tried to put tomatoes in the same bed as last year, the garden planner flashes red. This may be your first year growing a garden, but if you continue, it’s important to avoid planting the same crops in the same place if you want to avoid pests. And this is all based on proper scientific evidence, not hearsay! You just select a crop that you wish to grow and then tap on the Companion Planting icon it now lists companions for that plant and which way the benefit between the two crops lies. We also want to make a real effort to group together plants that naturally benefit each other-and this is where the Garden Planner’s new Evidence-Based Companion Planting is simply brilliant. Our plan is to include many more companion plants, safe in the knowledge that any small space lost to veggies will be more than made up for in the health of our crops. As well as adding a cheering splash of color, they help attract beneficial insects that help with crop growth, so we’re keen to include even more of them this coming season.

Last year, we included some companion flowers in our vegetable garden beds: marigolds and, in another part of the garden, nasturtiums. You can even select “easy” vegetables if you’re a beginner! Using data from over 5,000 weather stations, the Garden Planner also allows you to quickly find the best plants based on sunlight, soil, and other specified criteria.
