Most gardening apps give you one generic calendar for the whole country. Planting Season is different: every feature is tuned to your specific Australian climate region, so you stop guessing and start growing.
A garden and homestead app tuned to your exact Australian climate region, that grows with you from a single balcony pot to a full homestead.
Start with one tomato in a pot and a planting calendar that knows your seasons. Add beds, then chickens, then bees, compost, a worm farm and a pantry full of preserves, switching on only the parts you actually have. Every module is built for Australian conditions, works offline, and your data stays yours. It is not a generic checklist with a national calendar bolted on. It is the whole backyard, in one place, that gets more useful the more of it you use.
Most gardening advice is written for Melbourne. The generic apps don't know your climate. And there's only so many times you can watch a tomato fail before you give up. Planting Season was built to fix all of that.
Books, YouTube and most gardening apps give one calendar for the whole country. But a Brisbane summer and a Hobart winter could not be more different, so the generic advice gets your timing backwards.
Miss the sowing window by a few weeks and you've wasted the whole season. Most gardeners guess and get it wrong. Planting Season shows you exactly what to plant right now, updated every month.
Seeds and seedlings cost money. When something fails it's demoralising, and usually avoidable. The right timing, the right spacing, the right companions: the app puts all of that in your pocket before you spend a cent.
Was that basil planted 4 weeks ago or 8? Which bed needs water today? When should the tomatoes be ready? Trying to track it in your head, or in a notebook that lives inside, means things get missed.
Every veggie has its own set of pests and diseases. Without knowing what to look for, damage escalates before you act. The plant library tells you exactly what threats each plant faces and when to expect them.
Some plants are forgiving. Others punish a beginner. Not knowing where something sits on that scale means beginners take on plants they're not ready for, and then blame themselves when it fails.
Growing silverbeet is great, right up until you're staring at a pile of it and have no idea what to cook. The app includes kitchen uses, recipe ideas, and storage guides so the harvest actually gets eaten.
Beds that are too crowded, incompatible plants fighting each other, no plan for what comes after the current season ends. Without a visual layout tool, garden planning stays in your head and never quite works out.
Planting Season gives every Australian home gardener, beginner or experienced, a clear, confident answer to every one of these questions. In one free app, tuned to your climate region.
Start growing smarter, it's free 🌱No credit card. No time limit. Start growing in seconds.

The Planting Calendar shows every plant mapped across all 12 months, so you can plan your season ahead and never miss an optimal sowing window.
Every plant knows its friends and enemies. The app automatically warns you when incompatible plants end up next to each other in your garden bed, before you make a costly mistake.
The Tasks panel builds a personalised daily checklist based on what you're actually growing, no manual entry required.

Every morning the app reads what's happening across your patch and writes you a short brief, what to do today and why. It joins the dots between modules so nothing slips.
