When you add the plants you want to grow to your plan this will automatically populate the Plant List.
View your Plant List
The link to the Plant List can be found on the tabs at the top of the Garden Planner.
โ
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 More Options 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 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
To search for a specific plant in your Plant List, type its name in the box provided in the Filter options. You can also choose to show or hide perennials, plant family, and scientific names in 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.
Choose which columns you want to see
To simplify the Plant List you can hide any columns you don't need to see.
Exporting Your Plant List
You can export your Plant List as a .csv file that can be opened in other programs, e.g. as an Excel spreadsheet.
Tap on More Options, then scroll down and tap the Export to CSV button, 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.
Printing or Saving Your Plant List as PDF
To print the Plant List or save it as a .pdf file, choose Print Plan from More Options >
Scroll down the filters & options to find the Print button:
You can choose not to print background colors to save on ink. The option to create a PDF file is at the bottom of the print option window
Viewing your Plant List as a table or a list
If left as automatic, the View Mode will change depending on your screen size. To lock the Plant List to a specific view, tap More Options, then scroll down to the View section:
Choose Always as List if you find the table difficult to read on smaller screens or when using a tablet in portrait orientation.
