Most gardening apps are built for Melbourne. Planting Season is different — every feature is designed around the subtropical SEQ climate, so you stop guessing and start growing.
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, gardening apps — almost everything is calibrated for temperate climates down south. In SEQ you're planting tomatoes in winter and resting in summer. Generic advice gets it 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 Queensland home gardener — beginner or experienced — a clear, confident answer to every one of these questions. In one free app, built specifically for this climate.
Start growing smarter — it's free 🌱No credit card. No time limit. Start growing in seconds.
The Plant Now shelf shows every crop that's in season right now for South East Queensland — updated automatically each month. No more guessing, no more planting at the wrong time.
My Garden keeps tabs on everything you're growing. Each plant shows its current stage, days since planting, and a live progress bar so you always know where you're at.
The Plant Library covers over 100 vegetables, fruits, herbs and companion flowers — all with locally relevant growing advice for the subtropics. Each plant goes far beyond the basics.
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.

Map out your actual garden with the drag-and-drop Bed Planner. Set the exact dimensions of each bed, drag plants into every square, and see your whole garden laid out at a glance.
The Harvest Tracker lets you record every pick — how much you grew, in what unit, and which bed it came from. It adds up over a season into something pretty satisfying.
Cloud saving keeps your garden backed up automatically. Update from your phone in the garden, check from your tablet on the couch — it's always in sync.
The Yard Planner lets you lay out your entire backyard to scale. Drag in garden beds, trees, structures, water features and more to plan before you put a single spade in the ground.

The smaller things that add up to a much better experience.

Each plant shows its ideal soil temperature range for germination, so you know when conditions are right to sow.
Exact planting depth and row spacing for every plant — so you can maximise yield per square metre.
Common pests and diseases listed per plant, so you can identify and act fast when something goes wrong.
