When you first open the app you need to select your region so the app can give you the most relevant planting recommendations. Free Users have the choice of Northern or Southern Hemisphere, and members of the 'Green Thumb Club' (one - time fee) can select more specific zones for more relevant recommendations.

**LET US KNOW** if your region isn't listed and we will happily add it for you.

You can return to this screen at any time with the settings icon

The main calendar view shows the days of the currently selected month and the matching moon for each day. Scroll left and right to view the entire month. Click the today icon to jump to today from any month. Click the calendar_today icon to select a different month.

Below are the planting recommendations, colour coded to the different phases that occur in the selected month. The 'Plant Now' section quickly gives you a summary of what you should be focusing on now, while the 'Upcoming' section shows you what to plan for in the next moon phase.

As a general guide sow plants grown for their leaves during the Waxing New Moon (Green), sow plants grown for their fruit or seed in the half moon (Red), Sow root crops during the Full Moon (orange). The waning moon (Black) is not a good time for planting so use this time for other activities such as soil preparation.

See the section below on 'Notes' to find out how to better plan your gardening activities
