🌱✌️Visual garden planner is coming!

Hey Permapeople,


I think I was too early celebrating rising temperatures. April here in Germany is unusually cold. I still feel like January these days. Can somebody tell me when spring is finally coming? Probably we will jump right into summer. My seeds do well and I even managed to get Onion seeds sprouted this year. I can't wait to get them used to the outside soon.

Garden planner


Can you remember the survey we did about what to do next? Thank you for voting! We were surprised and excited by the results: 62% of all people asked for the garden planner. The garden log got 18% and plant varieties got 12%.
We spend the last weeks building a rough prototype that you can see in the screenshot above. It is not quite ready yet to share with all of you, but we are looking for a few people to test it out and give feedback. If you are interested, just hit reply.

Growing food crash course


Many people we talk to are eager to grow their food but don't know how to start. We've written a simple crash course on how to get started from scratch. You can read it here.
