May 2023 Release Notes 🔥 Planning your garden doesn't have to be a drag!


We are thrilled to announce a few of our most notable recent updates to plannt.ca, which includes highly requested features that we're sure our users will love.

Rapid Patch Definition


We understand that the initial setup of any garden plan is always a hurdle, especially if you've got a lot of space to work with.  To take the pain out of planning (lnng?), we've added click and drag functionality to Patch Edit Mode to allow you to rapidly define your growing space. This feature is perfect for those who want to be able to quickly experiment with different layouts.

Crop Relocation


Sticking with the theme of clicking and dragging, we've also added drag-and-drop capability to crops! You can now move a base crop from one patch to another by simply clicking & dragging it over. Whether you're pivoting from your initial plan or simply trying out new ideas, moving crops around in your garden has never been easier!

Intuitive Onboarding

We're also excited to share that we've reimagined our onboarding experience to make it even easier for new users to get started. Our new onboarding flow is designed to take you through only the essential aspects of your account setup so that you can get up & running as soon as possible.  The onboarding workflow also automatically pulls in your frost dates to save you the research! 

Enhanced Cross-Browser Compatibility

We implemented some speed improvements to make the platform even more flexible and performant across all browsers and devices.  You can use whichever device you prefer to access plannt.ca and know that you've got all the features you need to keep up with your growing season.


We hope these new features will make your garden planning experience even more enjoyable and productive. Please note that the click-drag features (rapid patch definition & crop relocation) are not available on touchscreen devices quite yet.  As always, if you have any feedback or suggestions for future updates, we'd love to hear from you.  We understand that using a new platform can be intimidating, and we're hard at work generating features and tutorials that will support users through all stages of their garden planning journey.

Happy gardening!

Gardening Guide: Transplanting Seedlings Outdoors 🌱

Photo by Jael Rodriguez on Unsplash Transplanting seedlings from indoor containers to your garden is like graduation day. Your babies are off to make their own way in the world. However, before you take this step, it's important to ensure that the seedlings are properly acclimatized to the outdoor environment. If you need a refresher on hardening off seedlings, check out our Gardening Guide on Hardening Off Seedlings . If you're ready to transplant, read on to discover how to do this in a way that will help your seedlings thrive in their new digs (sorry, plant pun). Step 1: Choose the right time Transplanting seedlings should be done when the weather is suitable. For most crops, the reason you are starting the seedlings indoors in the first place is because you need to wait until the last frost has passed to transplant them outside. However, some more advanced gardeners may choose to start seeds indoors well into the growing season in order to time their transplant with the...

Are your old seeds really just a pack of lies?

Gardening is a game of patience.  You sow your seeds and wait with bated breath until you see the seedlings emerge.  For those of us with a "healthy" stockpile of seeds left over from past seasons, it can be an unwelcome surprise to find that they don't last forever.  The seeds you planted weeks ago have failed to germinate, and now you need a change of plans (or, should I say, plants).  I experienced this firsthand recently, and wanted to share the results of my own experiment. What is seed germination? Seed germination is the process by which a plant grows from a seed. It starts when the seed takes up water, which triggers enzymes to break down stored food inside the seed. Once the food is broken down, it provides the energy for the plant embryo to grow roots, a stem, and leaves. Which seeds are less likely to stay viable after multiple years? While some seeds can last for decades, others lose viability quickly. The general consensus is that the following types of ...
