Plan, tend, harvest, and look back across the years at what actually worked. Here is everything Gartenkern does for you.
Gartenkern tells you when frost is coming, when to sow and when to harvest, for your location.
Gartenkern puts harvest dates in your calendar and sends a push notification when frost is coming. The watering plan turns the forecast into advice for your beds.
Dynamic planting dates based on your location and the weather, and each season builds on the last. What grew where and when, Gartenkern knows.
Great planting weather for tomatoes, the soil is warm enough.
Weather for your location, upcoming tasks and what ripens this week, all on the home screen. No searching, no forgetting.
What stood where, which variety it was and what went well stays with you for years.
Lay out your garden on the aerial view, draw beds and raised beds to scale and place plants right where they belong. So you always know what is where, and how much space is still free.

RipeLocation, variety, photo and status at a glance, from sowing to harvest. Like a plant passport, only alive.
First blossoms open. Pinched out and tied up today, smells wonderfully of tomato.
Notes and photos per plant, as a timeline over the season. Across the years it becomes your own garden almanac.
Photograph the plant, the AI helps identify it, even old heritage varieties. Add it to your bed with a single tap.
Which varieties do you have, what do you need to restock, when do you sow? Gartenkern keeps your stock and shows the sowing window with calendar week for every variety.
For those who want more: manage tools and compost, record expenses and meter readings, and export everything as PDF or CSV.
You see beforehand what goes together, what fits in the bed and what paid off.
Gartenkern suggests good neighbours and warns about bad ones, and remembers across the years what grew in which bed. So you plan crop rotation without exhausting the soil.
Record harvest amounts in grams, over the season and across the years. So you can see in black and white what pays off.
Questions about weather, varieties and care, answered with reference to your location and your plants, always with sources.
At season's end Gartenkern sums up what grew: harvest amounts, best varieties and highlights from the journal, comparable year by year.
Variety portraits with sowing and care data, companion-planting tips and local planting dates, written plainly, without the long search.
Everyone who helps sees the same state. Nobody waters twice.
Family, flatmates or gardening friends share the same garden. Whoever waters or harvests logs it, everyone sees the same state, in sync.

If a notebook is enough for you, it is enough. It gets interesting when you want to keep more in view at once: the weather, crop rotation and who did what and when.
It remembers everything you write down. It will not warn you before frost, though, and it does not work out your crop rotation.
It calculates whatever you teach it. It knows no sowing window and no weather forecast.
It knows the gardening year. It does not know your location or your beds.
It knows the variety until it gets lost. Gartenkern keeps it, along with everything that came of it.
Create your garden, add your first planting in under two minutes, via photo recognition or from the library.
Gartenkern reminds you about the harvest and warns about frost. Notes and photos land in the journal.
