The Harvestead Garden Guardian
Every gardener knows the feeling. Yellowing leaves, something chewed through overnight, and no idea whether to water it, feed it, or pull it. The Harvestead Garden Guardian is Harvestead's garden grow coach, and answering that moment is his job. He decides everything from your own garden: your beds, plantings, harvests, losses, what you've learned, and the climate where you actually grow.
Ask anything
Ask about a crop, a week, a bed, or a decision you're stuck on. The Guardian reads your zone and frost dates, your beds and plantings, the tasks on your schedule, the harvests and losses you logged, and everything you've learned so far, then tells you what to do next.
Sign up to useCropwright ability
Photograph any struggling plant. The Guardian names the plant, names what went wrong, flags anything toxic or risky before you touch it, and hands back a mend you can start today.
Sign up to usePest detection ability
Identify the pest from a photo or a symptom and get safe, organic remedies tuned to your crop, your climate, and the bed it's in. Anything toxic or dangerous is flagged before you use it.
Sign up to useGarden Studio
Most gardens fail on paper before they fail in the dirt: too many plants, too little sun, beds you can't reach the middle of. The Studio settles all of that before a seed goes in, and every tab shares the same plan.
Design
Drop beds and crops onto your actual space and see the spacing math instantly: how many plants fit, where the sun hits, and whether you're overplanting before a seed goes in.
Sign up to useFrom a photo
Upload a picture of the lawn, balcony, or empty patch and get a layout that respects what's really there: light, edges, and walking space.
Sign up to useFrom your camera
Point your phone at the ground and place crops where they'll actually live, sized to real spacing so the plan matches the dirt.
Sign up to useInside the Studio you'll also find your saved designs and a plain-language walkthrough of how every tab works.
Harvestead's Market HQ
Growing the food is the part most people get right. The part that breaks is the record: who owes you, what a crop actually cleared, what's ready this week. Harvestead's Market HQ holds all of it in one hub, included with the Sales bundle.
Sales ledger
Market cash, CSA shares, wholesale invoices, and card sales land in one book tied to your harvests, so tax time and profit checks take minutes, not days.
Sign up to useProfitability
See revenue and cost per crop and per bed-foot, so next season's seed order favors the crops that earn their space and drops the ones that don't.
Sign up to useSuccession planner
Plan the next planting before the current one comes out, with frost-aware windows and a weekly pull list so succession crops land on time.
Sign up to useInventory & availability
Log each pick and see what's committed to orders, what's aging, and what's left for the stand. One list keeps market day, wholesale, and pre-orders honest.
Sign up to useHarvest Stand
A public shop page with live quantities and pre-orders, so buyers claim their share before market day and the order book updates itself.
Sign up to useBuyers & channels
Chefs, CSA members, and wholesale accounts in one directory with their own price sheets, standing orders, invoices, and delivery routes.
Sign up to useInside Harvestead's Market HQ you'll also find the help walkthrough and FAQ: what each tab does, what belongs in an expense category, and how Schedule F tagging works.
Core Tool Kit
These live outside the three hubs on purpose. Each one answers a single question — how much to plant, what to do this week, what a bed actually earned — and every one of them feeds the same garden record.
Name the harvest you want, then watch a weekly score tell you whether the season is on pace.
Harvest goal
Pick dollars off the market table or dinners off your own ground. The planner works backwards into crops, bed-feet, and how many plantings it takes to hit the target before your first frost.
Sign up to useSeason score
One number for how much ground is working, how much food came out, whether you are ahead of your zone, and how close you are to your goal. Comes with the two or three things to do next.
Sign up to useSeason review
At season's end, every crop ranked by pounds and dollars off your own records, this year set against last, with how long each one held its bed. The list you plan next year's seed order from.
Sign up to usePlan what to plant, where it goes, and how much you'll need.
Zone almanac
