Features
Everything you need to grow your own food.
One app for planning, growing, and staying organized — simple enough for a first-timer, deep enough for a seasoned gardener.
My Garden
A home base for everything you're growing. Track status from seedling to harvest, log what you pick, and see a year-at-a-glance calendar of when to start, grow, and gather each crop.
Smart watering
Reminders timed to each plant — and to the weather. If it rained enough, that day's reminder is skipped automatically, so you're never told to water after a storm.
Plant Library
Hundreds of vegetables, herbs, fruits, flowers, and trees, each with a full grow guide: sunlight, spacing, soil, a planting calendar for your area, companions, harvest tips, and safety notes.
Plot Planner
Lay out your beds to scale and arrange your plants. Live warnings flag crowding, a sun-lover stuck in shade, or bad-neighbor pairings — and suggest good companions.
AI Recipes
Pick what's ripening and our AI writes complete, cookable recipes built around your harvest — tuned to your tastes, dietary needs, and what you actually grow.
AI Camera
Take or upload a photo and HomeSown identifies the plant, weed, pest, or disease — then walks you through what to do, gentlest options first. Ask follow-up questions, too.
GardenBot
A built-in AI assistant that knows your garden and our guides. Ask when to plant, why leaves are yellowing, or what to grow next — and get a real, grounded answer.
Pest & Disease guides
Searchable guides for spotting, preventing, and treating common problems — with least-toxic, organic-first advice, linked to the plants they affect.
Beginner's guides
Plain-English guides to soil, watering, sun and placement, seeds vs. transplants, building beds, containers, and avoiding common mistakes.
Climate-aware timing
Planting and frost dates tuned to your location, so the advice fits your backyard — not a generic calendar.
Daily digest
An optional morning summary of what needs doing — watering, harvests, seed-starting, and frost alerts — so nothing slips through the cracks.
Phone & web
Use HomeSown on your phone, or in your web browser on a bigger screen. Your garden stays in sync, and your subscription works across both.
