What SowJournal is
SowJournal is a personal garden calendar for climate-adjusted sow / plant / harvest guidance, seed stash, planner, and optional packet scans. Calendars are guidance for home growers — not a yield guarantee, weather service, or agronomist on retainer. SowJournal is not affiliated with any seed brand.
License
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use SowJournal on Apple devices you own or control, subject to the App Store terms and these Terms.
Purchases
Optional Plus is a one-time non-consumable In-App Purchase processed by Apple (typically €9.99). It unlocks unlimited favorites, seed stash, scans, push reminders, rotation advisor, and iCloud sync. There is no subscription. Payment and refunds follow Apple’s App Store rules. Restore purchases from Settings or the Plus screen if you reinstall or change devices.
Free tier
The free tier includes limited favorites, seed packets, and scans (typically 15 favorites, 8 seed packets, 10 scans). Calendar browsing stays available without purchase.
Seed catalog & brands
SowJournal is an independent app. We are not affiliated with Franchi Sementi, Vilmorin Jardin, Limagrain, or any other seed supplier. Catalog data may come from public product information, general encyclopedia entries, or your own packet scans. We do not sell seeds. Trademarks belong to their owners.
Acceptable use
Use SowJournal for lawful personal gardening. Do not claim false affiliation with seed brands, scrape or abuse optional lookup services, or present calendar windows as professional agronomy advice.
Disclaimer
SowJournal is provided “as is” without warranties. We are not liable for a frost that arrived early, a packet that lied about days-to-germination, a bed that still looks like optimism, or seedlings you planted anyway. Still dig with a shovel. We’re guidance — we’re not the weather.
