What it does

Everything you would scribble in a notebook, kept in order.

Most planners give you a blank grid. This one starts from your real plot, with its paths, shed, water butts and fruit trees, and keeps the whole season in one place.

Questions

Things people ask

Can I change my layout week by week?

Yes. Draw a layout in the Plot Designer and choose the week it starts. Earlier weeks keep the layout they had, and the Weekly Plan shows your plot for whichever week you pick.

Can I plan inside my greenhouse?

Yes. Open a greenhouse in the Plot Designer to lay out the inside: beds down both sides or in a U shape, with a walkway. You can add grow bags, benches, shelving, a potting bench, a chair and water storage. Each bed has its own planting spaces.

Can I add my own seeds and photos?

Yes. Add your own varieties with the timings from your packet, and attach a photo to each seed (up to 1 MB). You can also add a photo of your plot (up to 4 MB). Photos need a connection to load.

Does it work on my phone at the plot?

Yes. Add it to your phone's home screen and it opens like an app. Tick off jobs and log harvests while you are there. Once you have opened it with a connection, you can keep planning with no signal and it catches up when you are back in range. Photos and the weather need a connection.

Can I back up my plans?

Yes. Download a backup file, restore from a file, or go back to a restore point. Restore points stay in your browser on that device, so download a file to keep a safe copy. You can also print your plans.

Where does the sowing advice come from?

The starter list uses general UK guidance with sources such as the RHS. Sowing dates are matched to your frost dates, and your own seed packet always wins, so every crop can be edited to match it.

Can anyone sign up right now?

Not yet. Sow Ahead is invitation only while we get ready to launch. If you have been invited, you sign in with a secure link sent to your email, so there is no password to remember.

What does it cost?

Nothing today: invited people are testing it for free. At launch the plan is planned at £35 a year, with a 14-day free trial. A card is needed to start, nothing is charged during the trial, and if you cancel before it ends you pay nothing.

What happens to my plan if I stop paying?

You can download a full backup of your plan before you go, so nothing is lost. Paying only starts at launch.

Can my partner use it too?

Not for everyone yet. Sharing a plot with a partner only works for one set-up at the moment, so please do not count on it. We would like to add it for everyone, but we are not promising a date.

Coming soon
