What PlotAndPetal does, and where it works.

Features, by platform

Everything below is in the iPhone version, which is in testing and not in the App Store yet. Android comes next, and the browser version comes after the phone apps.

• iPhone A real map of your garden — plants placed bed by bed, on a grid that matches your actual layout, not a generic template.
• iPhone A log for every plant — notes, bloom stage, tasks and flags for each visit, so you can see what actually happened, not just what you meant to do.
• iPhone Photos and growth history in that log — attach a photo to a log entry and see how a plant changed over time.
• iPhone Harvest tracking for food plants — yield totals by weight or count, logged per plant.
• iPhone Plant care library — care, pruning, feeding, and problem-solving info for each plant in the catalog, sourced from university extension and other cited references. See Sources for how we cite things.
• iPhone A toxicity/safety reference for pets and people, so you know what's risky before you plant it.
• iPhone Weather and frost (U.S.) — local conditions, radar, recent rainfall and frost warnings for your garden. Weather is available for the United States.
• iPhone Reminders — send care tasks to Apple Reminders or Calendar, or turn on notifications for what is due.
• iPhone Propagation tips — how and when to propagate what you're growing.
• iPhone Vintage botanical art for your collection, styled like old plate illustrations.
