24 alternatives to Leaftide

I'm a hobby gardener in the UK, and I got tired of garden planners telling me to plant tomatoes in March (when it's still freezing). Every app I found used generic USDA zones or assumed you lived in California. So I built Leaftide - a garden planner that actually knows your local climate. *What makes it different:* - *Real frost dates* - Uses NOAA climate data for your exact location, not coarse hardiness zones - *Growing Degree Days* - Calculates when plants will actually mature based on accumulated heat - *Permanent plant tracking* - Track fruit trees, berry bushes, perennials across…

    Leafsnap is a project I've been working on for about 2 years and we finally launched yesterday! It's a free app for the iPhone (with an iPad version coming next week and an Android version later in the summer) that contains very high-quality images and descriptions of the tree species of the Northeast US. It also has an automatic-recognition feature that uses computer vision to help users identify trees by taking a photo of a leaf. This project is a joint collaboration between the computer science departments at Columbia University and the University of Maryland, and botanists at the…

    I’ve been working on xPlant, a dashboard for managing plant tissue culture projects. It’s designed like a “GitHub for plants” — you can track growth, experiment with different media, and iterate on your cultures over time, similar to versioning code. The goal is to give hobbyists, researchers, and growers a tool to see what works, optimize conditions, and learn from past experiments. I’d love feedback from anyone who experiments with plants or cares about reproducible growth data.

    A little while back I posted a little experiment we ran linking plants to the web in the garden. Well we got a lot of positive feedback on that idea, and decided to launch https://www.knownplants.com. It's a web application paired with fairly inexpensive semi-smart NFC enabled labels that help gardeners keep up with their plants. What do you think?
