Farm Your Yard: Gardening App Hack 3.9 + Redeem Codes

I’ve been using this app about a week, seeing if I want to replace my spreadsheet and paper system… it seemed generally useful at first, but not much more than the paper veggie gardening calendar our local extension office puts out… but I just figured out that if you tap on a veggie in your garden plan, you can add notes and pick a variety! **FEATURE REQUESTS:**I do wish there were a way for me to track yields tied to location … I know what I’m predicted to yield but that’s not the same as having a record of actual yield and in which spot certain things did better or worse. I also plant heirloom varieties and wish there was a way to type my own variety label in. Also when you add a second variety of the same thing later, the things seem to be sorted in “order added” so you might have beets at the top and bottom of the list, rather than being sorted alphabetically and also sorted by “next action required”

I’ve been on the market for a planning app and found this through a friend. After having used a paper calendar, this one has been a huge leg up. There are some minor issues which I expect will get worked out but I was able to get started and done in a about 30 mins. Most of that time was spent transferring dates from the paper calendar or the plant markers into the app. Once I was done, it gave me a nice planting/harvest chart that’s intuitive. I now know that I can expect to harvest my first tomato’s in 2 weeks! There are hidden gems like goal setting (10% Grow Your Own) that has potential, and the garden guides are a delight. Cute illustrations, uncluttered and free.

We’re a small space gardening family, and I love the idea of being able to track our volume of food grown in our yard. The plants were pretty easy to add and relabel to the varieties we’re growing. The calendar is unrealistic, though, and I wish I could edit it to reflect what’s actually happening. We’ve had a cold spring this year, and things are growing slowly. It’s frustrating that I’m being told to harvest things now (I’m writing this on Memorial Day) that haven’t even fruited yet, and I know we didn’t pick tomatoes and peppers for several months from this time last year. So it would be nice if I could input stuff like when we actually harvest so the algorithm can adjust. Dreaming big here, it would also be nice to be able to customize the calendar further, since my husband also likes to experiment with indoor hydroponics and so we grow peppers over the winter, too.

I was really enjoying the app. I had my 2022 garden fully planned and had just started my first round of seeds when the developers rolled out an update. With this update, they promised some really nice features but I have been unable to use them. When I open the app, every screen is a loading screen. A circle just spins and spins and spins and I can no longer access my garden plans. I guess it’s my fault for not having them written down somewhere else as a backup, and relying too heavily on an app, but it’s totally screwed up the timing on my entire garden. I have updated my own phone, and have done every new update on this app since they did the initial update, hoping for a bug fix, but to no avail. I have lost all of my data and the ideal dates for planting specific seeds are gone. I am devastated that I will have to start from scratch with another app, and I know for certain I am already behind on planting some of my seeds.

I love how it’s keeping me organized as to when to plant according to my zone. I live in So Cal but by the mountains so most blogs generalize what my zone is ….but this app gets it right! It put me in 9B…we have zone 9, 9A and B so for years I’ve been confused as to what zone I’m actually in. I love how it tells me the exact dates as to when to plant and when to sow as well as when to harvest. The only thing I wish it had was a grid so I would know how to organize and space out my plants in my raised beds. I use another app for that but I wish it was all in one. Going to be spending a lot of time in the app! Thank you!

Love this little app. I downloaded so many apps. I used them for a while. I’ve used a note pad, a calendar but none of them checked the boxes like this one does. Farm your yard takes the guess work out of when to plant and fertilize.

Wish list: that a landscape format is added. Ability to choose plants above and below my zone. Would like the option to experiment with plant not typically in my zone.

Glad to see that additional fruits and vegetables have been added. I have recommended this app to my sister who’s been an urban farmer for a while. She too was using her memory to stay on schedule, or paper. Neither of which are reliable. Please keep updating and developing this app. I love it!

I absolutely love this app! It’s been so helpful for my partner and I. We started a garden recently and have very little knowledge on the subject. The app was super easy to use and gave us tons of tips. We didn’t have to go around doing a bunch of research on when to plant and water, we just let the notifications tell us what to do. I really love that they also offer set garden guides so you don’t have to think about all the possible veggies. They just choose for you. All in all, I would highly recommend. We are already seeing great results in our garden!

You want an easy and simple gardening calendar, then this is the app for you, and I’ve browsed quite a few. I look forward to when they’re able to raise the funds for the companion plants and trees updates cause it would be very useful to have instead of constantly having to Google each one. The only thing that this app is missing would be a way to plan or maybe map a garden. But considering how it’s all free compared to other apps this isn’t bad at all.

It seems like a pretty solid app.

I haven’t actively used it as far as the planting aspect so I can’t talk about that functionality, but the general design seems good.

I really like the calendar with the listing of veggies below and the months across the top. That feature will help someone like me who is very new to gardening know what items you can plant when.

I wish there was information on companion planting. I’m not going to have a ton of room for my raised beds so I honestly think that would be helpful. I like the square foot data that’s provided, so you can tell how many plants per square foot, but having that companion info available in the app would just be that much better. You wouldn’t have to go find that data somewhere else and you could just stay in the app.

Also looking forward to a larger plant database.

This app has a great start, I’m looking forward to seeing how it develops. I can’t wait to get planting so I can put it to use and see it in action!!

Hello, app seems cool so far. I have a garden going now for several weeks almost 2 months now and I just downloaded the app today, how do I change the planting dates of my veggies so that the tasks and harvest dates are accurate in my calendar? The app says I planted everything today, however, everything has been in the ground for about 6 weeks and I did a second round about 1 week ago and I can’t edit the dates in which I planted.

Is this possible? Could be an easy one as I’m a new user here.
