How fast do I get my plan?

Three steps, three minutes. Type your location, measure your bed, click the veg you like. I do the rest.

Free: one bed, full annual plan, PDF export — free and no account needed. Pro (multiple beds + weather + garden calendar + push & email reminders): €4.90/month or €39/year. Premium (with AI coach Stachi): €9.90/month or €79/year.

Does it work for a balcony planter?

Yes. From a 40×20 cm balcony box to a 3×1 m raised bed — same three steps, same outcome.

Do I need an account?

Not for your first plan — creating one works without signing in. You'll need an account once you want multiple beds, your plan on multiple devices, or weather reminders.

Seed & start

Stachi's tip

Okra is Africa's heat diva: 14-week season, needs at least 25 °C. In temperate climates only realistic against a hot south wall or under fleece. Pick the young pods every 2-3 days, otherwise they go woody. Classic ingredient for gumbo and Indian curries.

What comes after Okra?

When the bed frees up, the season is usually not over. We worked out what still fits afterwards — with time windows and reasons.
