Open the plant selector by tapping on the leaf (Plants) icon on the Drawing Toolbar, at the bottom of the Garden Planner.

Scroll down through the list of plants to find the one you need, or type the name of the plant in the Search box.

Tap once on a plant to select it, then move to where you want it to be. Tap once to place it on your plan. Tap on and drag one of its corner 'handles' to drag out a row or block. The plants will be automatically spaced at their minimum recommended spacings.

The colored area around each plant indicates the amount of space it needs to grow successfully, and the color indicates which crop rotation family it belongs to.

You can tap on the Filters button to narrow down the plants to only those that meet your needs.

Tap on the 'i' Information button next to any plant to see growing information, listed varieties, your Journal History and your notes for that plant.

You can also tap on the star next to any plant to mark it as a Favorite. This enables you to filter the plant selector to show only your favorite plants.
​

If the plant you need isn't currently listed, you can use any plant icon to define your own.

Once added to your plan, the plant can be edited. If the spacing isn't quite correct you can edit the spacing.

If the sowing, planting or harvesting times need amending, you can edit these times.
