Track your garden.
Veggie Exchange is a hobby community for gardeners. Trade seedlings with neighbors, follow other growers, and keep a beautiful record of everything you plant — from seed to harvest.
No fees. Hobbyist-to-hobbyist. iOS app coming soon.
A garden journal for the whole neighborhood.
Whether you grow a couple of tomato pots on a balcony or a few hundred seedlings in a backyard greenhouse, Veggie Exchange helps you track what you plant — and share the extras with other gardeners nearby.
Plant library
Every seed packet in one place.
Build a personal library of every plant you grow. Search across hundreds of varieties, filter by category or seed source, and remember what worked when next season rolls around.
- ✓Hundreds of plants per library, fully searchable
- ✓Filter by category, seed source, or season
- ✓Track seed year, quantity on hand, and vendor at a glance
Tray planner
Plan your trays before you sow.
Lay out a seed tray visually before you put a single seed in soil. Assign varieties to cells, mix multiple plants in one tray, and print a labeled diagram you can take out to the greenhouse.
- ✓Visual color-coded cell layout per tray
- ✓Mix multiple varieties in a single tray with a clear legend
- ✓Track tray size, growing medium, and cell count in one place
Germination tracking
Watch them sprout, week by week.
Track germination rates across every tray and every variety. See which seed lots are strong and which need a second chance — across this season and against past ones.
- ✓One line per tray and variety over time
- ✓Compare against previous seasons
- ✓Spot germination problems early so you can replant before it's too late
Outcome flow
See where every seed ends up.
A sankey diagram traces every cell from sowing to its final destination — germinated, potted, planted in your garden, given to a neighbor, or didn't make it. No spreadsheet required.
- ✓Visual outcome breakdown per tray
- ✓Tracks germinated → potted → garden / given away / culled / died
- ✓Makes it obvious which varieties are worth re-growing
Plant detail
Every plant has its own story.
Tap any plant and see its full history: when it was seeded, every pot size it lived in, where it went in the garden, and every care event you logged along the way.
- ✓Pot size history with day counts at each stage
- ✓Age from seed and from potting at a glance
- ✓Activity log of every watering, feeding, and treatment
Season analytics
Zoom out to the whole season.
How many trays did you start? How many made it to the garden? What's your overall germination rate? Compare seasons year over year and tune what you grow.
- ✓Pot outcomes broken down by destination — active, hardening, in garden, given away, died
- ✓Statistics grouped by plant type, seed type, tray, vendor, or garden phase
- ✓Season-over-season comparison so trends pop out
