About this app

Know what your vegetable garden needs now.

Patchwise is a planting calendar and garden planner matched to your climate and season. Get a practical list of what to sow, plant, feed, protect and pick - plus care guides for 280+ edible plants.

No account, no ads and no internet required.

Enter your postcode and Patchwise tunes itself to your patch. It understands RHS hardiness, local frost windows and the British growing season, so advice for Cornwall is never advice for Inverness.

WHAT TO DO NOW

• A fortnightly list of the garden jobs that matter now
• A local sowing and planting calendar for your climate
• Frost windows and seasonal guidance for your area
• Clear reminders of what is coming up next month

CARE FOR 280+ EDIBLES

Browse vegetables, herbs, fruit trees, berries and vines. Every plant guide brings practical information together in plain English:

• Sowing depth, spacing, watering and feeding
• Pruning, protection and harvest guidance
• Named varieties and familiar names such as courgette and coriander
• Companion planting: what helps and what to keep apart
• Pest and disease signs with organic-first controls

PLAN YOUR WHOLE PATCH

Add a planting in seconds and Patchwise creates a useful timeline. My Patch keeps upcoming tasks, planting dates and predicted harvest windows together, while the seed box helps you use older packets first.

WORKS AT THE ALLOTMENT

The full plant library and its photos live on your phone. Patchwise works in the shed, on the allotment or beyond reception without loading spinners. There is no sign-up, email address or Patchwise server.

YOUR GARDEN STAYS YOURS

Plantings, notes and photos stay on your device unless you export a backup or PDF yourself. Patchwise has no advertising or behavioural analytics. Backup and restore makes it easy to move your patch records to another phone.

PATCHWISE PLUS

The optional Plus subscription adds:

• Reminders on the days and at the time you choose
• A photo journal for every planting
• Plant stories that gather your season into one timeline
• PDF export for printing or sharing

Garden planning, the plant library, local calendar, unlimited plantings, seed box, backup and restore remain available without Plus.

Patchwise was built by a gardener who wanted one calm, private answer to a practical question: what does my patch need now?

Guidance, not gospel - always check your own conditions before planting.

What's new

Patchwise now recommends new versions through Google Play when an update is available.

Play can download an update while you keep using Patchwise, then lets you choose when to restart.

After an upgrade, a one-time What's new notice explains the changes and can be dismissed.
