What it does
The Harvest Planner turns "I want to grow some tomatoes" into a real number of plants. You set your household size and pick the crops you care about, and it calculates how much to grow to actually feed you, based on yield per plant and how much a person eats over a season.
Why it is better
A static calculator gives the same answer forever. This one improves with your garden.
- It learns from your harvests. As you log what each plant produced, the next plan reflects your real yields, not an average from somewhere else.
- It reads your seed box. Crops you already have seed for are factored in, so you do not over-buy.
- It checks your pantry. If you still have last year's canned tomatoes, it can dial back this year's plan.
- It is tuned to your region. Seasons and yields follow your US region, so the timing makes sense where you live.
How to use it in three steps
Set your household
Tell it how many adults and kids you are feeding, and how much you want to grow versus buy.
Pick your crops
Choose the vegetables and fruit you want on the plan. It returns a plant-this-much target for each.
Log and refine
As you harvest through the season, log totals. Next season's plan comes back sharper.
How it connects
The planner is wired into the rest of your garden, so the numbers stay honest.
- Plants you place in the garden planner count toward the plan, so you can see what is still missing.
- Saved seed updates your seed box, which the planner reads, so it drops off your shopping list.
- A big crop flows into preserving, and a full pantry tells next year's plan to ease off.
- Harvest totals feed your dashboard and savings, so you see the payoff of growing the right amount.
