A Veteran-Built App · One of The P4P Companions
Gardening Companion is the all-in-one growing app: a square-foot Garden Designer that plans your beds for maximum yield, a 200+ plant library, companion planting, a homestead planner that tells you how much to grow to feed your family for a year, harvest tracking, and root-cellar & preservation guidance — whether you're planting your first raised bed or feeding a household off the land. Private, encrypted, Veteran-built.
A fraction
of the harvest
Most gardens give back far less than they could — not for lack of effort, but for lack of a plan that runs the whole way through:
The Problem
Plenty of apps help you remember to water. Almost none help you design for yield, plant the right companions in the right sun, time the harvest, and store what you grow so nothing's wasted. That full loop — design to pantry — is the difference between a hobby plot and real food on the table.
The idea this app is built on: treat your garden as a food system, start to finish. Plan it for maximum yield, grow it well, harvest on time, and put it up for the winter — all in one private place.
The Whole Cycle
Four stages of real food, finally in one app — each one feeding the next.
Lay out each bed square by square. The designer fits crops by spacing, totals your yield, flags bad companions, and puts tall crops where the sun wants them. Trace over an aerial photo of your yard.
A 200+ plant library with zone-aware tips, companion planting, vertical & container techniques to multiply a small space, and a homestead planner that sizes your garden to feed your family for a year.
Track every planting from sowing to ready-date, log what you actually brought in, and keep an eye on the pests and diseases that tried to get there first.
Keep the harvest through winter: which crops cellar and for how long, the root-cellar climates, and what to can, freeze, dry, or ferment when it won't keep on its own.
What It Is
Gardening Companion is a private, encrypted, offline app for any phone, tablet, or computer. Everything from the first design to the last jar in the cellar, in one focused place — no ads, no accounts, no algorithm, and your data is never sold.
The Toolkit
Seven tools that take you from a bare bed to a stocked pantry.
A square-foot bed planner that fits crops by spacing, totals your yield, flags companion conflicts, steers tall crops to the sunny side, and lets you trace over an aerial photo of your yard.
200+ vegetables, herbs, fruits, and flowers in browsable categories, each with sun, spacing, days to harvest, and zone-aware sowing tips.
Enter your household size and get a year's grow-list of storage staples — plus the space-saving and vertical techniques to actually fit it all.
Search any crop for its best neighbors and the ones to keep apart — the same data that powers the designer's live conflict flags.
Track plantings from sowing to expected harvest, and log the actual yield you brought in — so next year you plant smarter.
The root-cellar playbook: which crops keep and for how long, the right storage climates, and what to can, freeze, dry, or ferment.
Who It's For
The same app grows with you — start small, scale to self-sufficiency whenever you're ready.
New to it, or just want more from a few beds? Design a layout that yields more in less space, learn what plants well together, and never again forget when something's ready to pick. It makes a real garden out of a guess.
Trying to feed a family on real food, not grocery-store chemicals? Size your garden to feed everyone for a year, maximize every square foot, and store the harvest through winter in the cellar and the pantry. A genuine tool for self-sufficiency.
