Some of the hardest gardening happens before you ever pick up a trowel. You stand over an empty bed, full of good intentions, and then comes the big question: what actually goes where? VeggieCrush v1.1 is here to answer it with you.
Meet Smart Planner
Smart Planner is the heart of this update. Tell it a little about your garden bed, and it builds a full planting plan for you in seconds. No spreadsheets, no second-guessing, just a clear, plantable plan you can dig straight into.
Here is what makes it special:
- Three plans, your pick. Every time you plan, you get three ready-made options. One leans into companion planting, pairing veggies that bring out the best in each other. One goes big on variety. And one makes room for your largest, leafiest growers to stretch out.
- Good neighbours, sorted. Smart Planner knows which plants get along. It prioritises your hero veggies and their best companions when filling the free space in your bed, so everything you plant has a friend nearby.
- Surprise me. Feeling spontaneous? Tap Surprise me and let VeggieCrush dream up something fresh, then re-roll until a plan makes you smile.
- Plan ahead, season by season. Fill your bed for right now, or look ahead to the seasons coming up and plan what goes in next.
- Never lose track of space. A live nudge keeps count of how many squares you have left to fill, so you make the most of every centimetre without overcrowding.
Whether you are planting your very first raised-bed or fine-tuning a patch you have tended for years, Smart Planner takes the overwhelm out and leaves the fun firmly in.
We also tidied up
Alongside Smart Planner, we smoothed things out behind the scenes: snappier performance, a friendlier planner walkthrough, bed snapshots that match exactly what is growing, and a few reliability fixes so Plus benefits stay neatly tied to your account.
