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 recommended sowing, planting and harvesting dates for your garden's location.
How to view plant information and favorites
Tap on the 'i' Information button next to any plant in the list to see growing information, listed varieties, your Journal History and your notes for that plant.
Tap the side arrow to access all these.
You can also tap on the star next to any plant to mark it as a Favorite.
Change how your Plant List is displayed
There are three different Display views:
The Default view displays all of the columns in the Plant List. Summary view removes the Notes column.
The Individual Plantings view shows in-ground dates if you've added these to your plants (used to plan succession planting).
Tap Show More to see further options:
Sorting the Plant List
There are several ways to sort the Plant List: by plant name, quantity, plant label, in-ground dates (if you have added these), or by sowing, planting, or harvesting time.
You can use the 'Sort by' drop-down menu at the top right of the Plant List:
Or tap on the arrows at the top of each column to sort the Plant List.
Choose what you want to include in the your Plant List

'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.
