Introduction

Are you starting a vegetable garden or building on an existing one? Part of the success of your garden is knowing when to plant the vegetables. The Vegetable Planting Calendar takes all the guesswork out of the process when it comes to planting herbs and vegetables. It gives details on more than 90 of them, providing information on how high heat, moderate heat, hard frost, and light frost affects the vegetables and herbs.

Helping you Develop a Green Thumb

A green thumb isn’t something that just comes naturally to everyone. For some people they really need to work at it, learn about gardening, and research different aspects of it. This app can help you develop your green thumb by answering some very basic but incredibly important questions.

Use this  gardening app as a reference guide to know when to plant your herbs and vegetables. While some may react very strongly to hard frost, others can take it without problem. Besides helping you figure out the best time to plant, the app also gives you planting instructions. It’s not just about digging a hole in the ground and plopping in your seed or plant.

While this app clearly doesn't cover every herb and vegetable out there it certainly covers a wide variety. Find planting information on such items as beans, beets, lettuce, mint, peas, potatoes, rhubarb, spinach, sage, tomatoes, and plenty more.

Simple and Direct

This app is very simple and to the point. It doesn’t offer a fancy high-tech user interface but instead focuses on keeping things neat and tidy so you can quickly get the information you need. The information loads very quickly upon launching the app allowing you to start searching for a particular item immediately. Just scroll through the list to find what you want.

In each item’s description you can read about what it is, how it grows best, the soil requirements, planting instructions, and in what season it does well. This is a wonderful reference guide that can even come in handy when you’re out at the vegetable/herb market and wondering if this is the right time to plant. Some items have much more information than others it just depends on how many instructions come with it.

The app is ad-supported with an ad-banner displayed along the bottom. It is a bit of a visual distraction but not too bad. It would be great if there was a way to share the information either by email or social media.
