To plan succession planting, the Garden Planner needs to know when you expect to plant and harvest the plants in your garden.

Double-tap on a plant on your plan (or tap on it once then tap on the Edit button in your plan's Drawing toolbar) to pull up the Edit Plant options.

Select the 'Specify in-ground dates' checkbox, then choose the months during which the plant will be grown using the drop-down lists.

Tap Done when you are finished.

To view how your garden will look for a particular month of the year tap on the 3 dots on the right hand side of your plan to view your Planner Options.

By default this shows All Months. When you select a month, only plants that are marked as being in the ground for that month or for all of the growing season will be shown on your plan. (You will always need to do this to prevent viewing plant overlap if you are succession planting). Click on the X at the top right to view the month.

You can then fill in the blank spaces on your plan with another type of plant if you wish, remembering to set their In-Ground dates.

To quickly choose suitable plants, you can filter the plant selector to show only plants that can be sown or planted during a specific month.

Tap on Plants at the bottom of your plan.

Tap on Filters.

Scroll down to Planting Times then select a month to sow indoors (blue) or sow or plant outdoors (green). Only plants that can be sown or planted during that month will then be shown in the plant selector.

Tap Done when you are finished, or click Reset to return to viewing all plants.
