Fall planting season: garlic, greens, cover crops. Scan any seed packet, plan beds by your zone, and cook what you harvested. Free to start.
Plan it. Grow it. Save it. Cook it.
GrowMore CookMore is a year-round vegetable gardening and cooking app for backyard growers, raised-bed gardeners and community-garden plots in the US and Canada (USDA zones 3-10), and the UK.
Right now that means fall: planting garlic, sowing cool-season greens, putting beds to bed, and cooking down the last of the harvest. Come January it's peppers under lights, then the spring rush.
SCAN CENTER
Point your camera at any seed packet, plant tag or nursery six-pack. The app reads it, checks it against your zone and frost dates, and tells you whether to sow now, save it to your Seed Tin, or log it to Expenses because you just bought it. Three free scans, then included with Harvest.

This week last year: what you sowed, planted, bought and wrote in your journal in the same week one and two years ago, right on Home, photo and all. New to the app? You see what the club is sowing now instead. Post it to the Potty Mouth Garden Club in one tap. Plus fixes to the Scan Center and Near You, which now takes your ZIP.
