  1. We'd really like you to add a calendar function where we can make notes and track sow, transplant, harvest, etc dates year to year. We're adding that info to the notes, but it would be useful to have a visual. We're doing this on an Outlook calendar, but we then have to switch back and forth between programs and there's duplication. We're finding the garden planner very helpful.

  2. Yes, the notes being the same for a plant/variety is a deliberate thing. We thought long and hard about this and came to the conclusion that people often move plants out of greenhouses or remove the row covers, so we didn't want the notes disappearing when that was done. If you want to split the notes into separate instances, you can do that by creating a new 'variety' for each instance, then it will save the notes separately. e.g. you could create a variety of carrots called 'Early sowing'.

  3. this is the most comprehensive gardening tool out there! I began my spring plans before discovering this gem and definitely wasted a lot of time coming up with my own solution. It does everything I was pulling from multiple sources and stores it online in one place with the ease of use for future reminders, not just the task I'm currently on. I've found my new garden partner in crime!

  4. Hi, yes there are two ways to design a winter garden after a spring/summer one: 1. You can use the Succession Planting feature which enables you to label which months each plant is in the ground and then view the plan for any month of the year. 2. You can create a 'follow-on' plan for the same year which clears out plants (except perennials) and retains the layout. See our other videos on 'Succesion Planting' and 'Next Year's Plan and Crop Rotation' for details.

  5. Holy COW! What a GREAT tool the Kitchen Gardeners International Garden Planner is and excellent instructional videos too! I can't believe how many features and components there are. Thanks much – this will help our program a lot!

  6. Nice Video! Excuse me for butting in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you thought about – Saankramer Breathtaking Design System (should be on google have a look)? It is an awesome exclusive product for learning how to design an amazing dream landscape minus the headache. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my close friend Aubrey finally got great success with it.

  7. I have just bought your program after the trial period and love it. However, what would be helpful to me if I could write the date I plant into the planner so I could get a better idea when to harvest.

  8. I know this is an old video but I just purchased the garden planner and I noticed that when the individual did the bamboo TP they showed how to place it but I cannot figure out how they placed the pole beans on that bamboo teepee is there any information on that
