Is there an app that helps with starting seeds?
Yes. Vegardi, the home food-growing app, includes Seed Starter: detailed guidance on how to sow and how to care for a tray through germination, sowing recorded in the app as you do it, a clear view of what should be happening at this stage, advice when nothing moves, and a move-to-the-garden step that keeps the plant's record intact from day one. Built for edible plants grown at home.
Why are my seeds not germinating?
Usually one of four things: the medium is colder than it looks, moisture has swung between soaked and dry, the seed went in too deep, or the seed is past its viable years. The hard part is that germination happens out of sight, so you cannot tell waiting from failing. Because you sowed the tray in the app, Seed Starter knows how long it has been and what should be happening by now, and gives you advice on that instead of a general list.
How long do seeds take to germinate?
It ranges more than most people expect: some crops crack in three to five days, while others, like peppers, parsley and carrots, can honestly take up to three weeks. So the number alone never tells you whether to worry. What helps is knowing how long your own tray has been in, and what should be happening by now, which is what Seed Starter keeps in front of you.
Does it track the tray before anything sprouts?
Yes, and that is the point. You sow the tray in the app as you fill it, so
the record starts at day zero, before there is anything to see. When the seedling is ready you move it to the garden in the app as well, and it arrives at its slot on the
Planting Map with its whole history attached.
I grow in soil. Can I use Seed Starter?
Seed starting itself happens in trays either way. The app's full tracking is built for hydroponic systems today; the soil version is in development, and you can
join the waitlist to enter its beta as a Founding Grower.
Is Seed Starter free?
Every tool lives in the same app. Premium raises the limits to 100 scans and 1,000 Gardi chats a month. If you want to feel how Vegardi thinks first, the
Plant Doctor and the Garden Check-Up are available. Free in the browser, no account needed for your first scans.
