We're in the thick of harvest season, and if you're like us you've got tomato ketchup in the slow cooker, green salsa on the stove, and a freezer full of peas, greens, peppers... oh and did we mention the grated zucchini?!

(In the spirit of full disclosure we may or may not also have a garden full of weeds right now, but hey the plants are still producing!)

While we're enjoying the garden bounty and throwing our hands in the air with the weeds, we've also just rolled out the biggest feature launch in Planter history!

We've released several new, top-requested features to make planning and tracking your garden in Planter easier than ever:

What's Growing On?

Gardens 2.0 New Features

We've completely redesigned the Planter app 'under the hood' to support your most requested features and give you more flexibility than ever in your garden layouts!

New features are currently in beta and are available to Planter Premium subscribers. Be sure to download the latest version of the Planter app and confirm you have an active subscription to access the new features.

Here are a just few of the many exciting new features:

Rounded Garden Shapes & Towers: Plan rounded rectangle, oval, and circular gardens, as well as multi-layer garden towers like GreenStalks.

Combined Garden Views: See all your garden beds in one view by placing multiple beds inside an overall garden layout with a virtually unlimited size.

Intercropping: Make maximum use of your garden space by placing two or more complimentary crops in the same garden square (a well-known example of intercropping is the 'three sisters'- corn, beans, squash).

Row Planting: Planter has moved beyond strictly square foot gardening and now supports highly customizable row planting and triangular/offset planting.
