\"Farmer's<\/a> I was recently contacted about a new online app that is geared towards home gardening. \u00a0It helps families learn what they can grow, how they can grow it, and when to start planting.<\/p>\n

The app is called Sprout It<\/a> and after playing around with it, I have to tell you that I’m kind of in love.<\/p>\n

Here’s the description from their webpage:<\/p>\n

Sprout it<\/a> is a web-based application designed to make growing simple. Helping people get in touch with a better way of growing, living and eating, Sprout it is the app that partners with gardeners. Allowing users to explore what they can grow, Sprout it helps people set up customized plans uniquely suited to their gardens. Supporting your gardening activities\u00a0throughout the season with notifications, reminders and encouragement, Sprout it provides\u00a0gardening guidance from sowing to harvest. Sprout it is empowering everyone \u2013 from\u00a0experienced gardeners to first-timers \u2013 to grow with more success and confidence, right at home.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As a very much beginner homesteader, this app is right up my alley. \u00a0Not only does it provide tips on what I can grow but I can also use it to plan out a garden and keep track of everything I decide to grow.<\/p>\n

Since we are renting and I can’t build raised beds for a garden, everything I do will be done in containers. \u00a0This app tells me what I can grow in containers and how to manage it.<\/p>\n

I admit that I find this completely awesome!<\/p>\n

This app is also great for families who want to start growing more of their food at home and can help you teach your children how grow and manage a garden.<\/p>\n

You can pick what veggies and herbs you want to grow and then create a “Grow Plan” for each item. \u00a0The Grow Plan tells you all you need to know about how to successfully grow that particular plant.<\/p>\n

This app is perfect for beginners because it provides steps and tasks along the way!<\/p>\n

If you are looking to start growing more of your own veggies and want to get your kids involved, Sprout It is perfect! \u00a0They even have some suggestions for you on creating a garden with your family:<\/p>\n
