Moon Phase Garden turns centuries of lunar planting wisdom into a modern, zone-aware companion — a 94-plant guide, foraging and nutrition libraries, a garden journal, and a quiet community of growers. Free, ad-free, and private.
From the first seed to the last harvest, timed to the moon and tuned to your USDA zone.
An 8-phase planting engine and interactive lunar calendar tell you the best days to sow, transplant, prune, and harvest.
94 plants with zone-aware planting windows, rain-aware promotions, and a “plant now” view built around where you live.
Log entries with photos, auto-tagged by moon phase and weather. Track My Plants through every growth stage.
15 wild edibles by zone with safety tiers and always-visible toxic look-alike panels — identify with confidence.
Harvest Logger, yield value, seed-starting calculator, and care reminders — see what your garden is really worth.
Background freeze, rain, and heat alerts with automatic USDA zone detection, so a cold snap never catches you off guard.
Each phase favors different garden tasks. The app tells you which — and why.
Rest the beds, plan, and start leafy greens as the light returns.
Sow and transplant above-ground crops while sap runs high.
Harvest, water, and gather herbs at peak vitality.
Root crops, pruning, weeding, and soil work as energy draws down.
The same trusted guidance that lives inside the app, now open on the web — deep, honest, and free to read whether or not you’ve downloaded it yet. No fluff, no gimmicks: just what works and why.
Rubus fruticosus · Zones 5–9
Toxic look-alike panel: Always shown, never hidden. Compare against poison hemlock and nightshade before you ever pick.
Every wild edible is rated green, yellow, or red — and the toxic look-alike panel is always visible, because getting it wrong isn’t a typo, it’s a poisoning. It’s the same principle that guides the whole app: teach carefully, warn clearly, and never cut corners on safety.
See what worked for gardeners in your zone, at the same point in the lunar cycle — anonymously, with no real names, no tracking, no ads.
Transplanted tomatoes three days before the full moon and they took off. Second year this timing has worked for me.
Waning moon root day — pulled the fall carrots and they were the sweetest yet. Journaled it so I remember next season.
First morel of the year near the old ash grove. Used the look-alike panel to double-check before dinner. Worth the caution!
v1.8 adds the Water pillar — rain collection, sizing, filtration and irrigation — and puts the whole app into eight languages.
Drip, ollas and wicking beds compared for your plants, with an irrigation badge on every plant page.
Work out how much roof runoff you can actually catch, how to filter it — and whether your state allows it.
Journal entries now link to the plant they are about, so a tomato is not tracked in two places that never talk.
English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Vietnamese, Filipino and Arabic — the app and this site both. Switch it in the corner of any page.
Eight planning tools, free to read on the web. Three of them save your work if you make a free account — there is no payment on this site.
Lay out a raised bed plant by plant, with spacing worked out for you.
Build a succession plan so something is ready in every month your zone allows.
What your soil needs, which amendment fixes it, and what to do first.
Zone-aware sowing and transplanting windows for the whole plant list.
Fruit trees, canes and berries — chill hours, pollination partners, and spacing.
Plants that belong where you live, and the insects that need them.
Logs, totems and beds — which species suit which substrate, and when to expect a flush.
Companion pairings, crop rotation, and everything else in one place.
