When you add the plants you want to grow to your plan this will automatically populate your Plant List.

The Plant List (as the name suggests!) lists all of the plants on your plan. It also includes the quantity of each plant or variety, their spacing requirements, and a calendar of recommended sowing, planting and harvesting dates for your garden's location to make it easy to plan your growing schedule and refer to their needs.

Click on the 'i' Information button next to any plant in the list if you want to check its growing information, listed varieties, your Journal History or your notes for that plant.

You can also click on the star next to any plant to mark it as a Favorite.

You can change how your Plant List is displayed to make it easier to look for specific plants and find their growing dates, spacing and other important information.

In the toolbar at the top of your Plant List, you'll see three options for displaying your plan:

The Default view displays all of the columns in the Plant List.

The Summary view removes the Notes column.

The Individual Plantings view shows plants grouped by in-ground dates (used to plan succession planting) if you've added these to your plants.

You can find more options for which columns to show or hide on your plan in the toolbar at the top of your Plant List:

There are several ways to sort the Plant List: by plant name, quantity, or by sowing, planting, or harvesting time.

Click on the arrows at the top of a column to sort the Plant List:

Or use the 'Sort' drop-down menu on the top toolbar.

To search for a specific plant in your Plant List, type its name in the box provided in the Filter search bar.

You can also choose to show or hide perennials, the crop family a plant belongs to, and scientific names in your Plant List. (Note: 'Hide plants without in-ground dates set' is only activated in the Individual Plantings view.)

Select 'Use Text Planting Calendars' if you find this easier to view than the colored planting bars.

To simplify the Plant List you can hide any columns you don't need to see.

You can choose to view your plant as a list instead of a table if you find it difficult to read on smaller screens.

By default the Plant List will select a table or a list depending on your screen size, but you can lock the Plant List to a specific view if you prefer. Click on the View Mode drop-down menu, then select Always as Table or Always as List.

To print the Plant List or save it as a .pdf file, click on the Print button in the Export options and then print or save to PDF. You can choose not to print background colors to save on ink.

Alternatively, click on the Print button in your Plant List's top toolbar.

You can export your Plant List as a .csv file that can be opened in other programs, e.g. as an Excel spreadsheet.

Choose Export to CSV from the Export menu and your Plant List will be saved to your Downloads folder as a .csv file.

Open the .csv file in another program to edit it.
