Changelog

What's new in MyVeggieGarden — recent updates and improvements.

April 2026

Public garden pages redesigned — Your /s/:username share page got a clean profile hero, the same tan backdrop as the planning view, and shared zone cards so what you see on /plan is exactly what visitors see. Signed in as the garden owner? You can add plantings, edit notes, and remove rows inline without leaving the page.
Shared planting rows across planning and sharing — Extracted a single ZoneCardV2 component used by both /plan and /s/:username. Improvements to planting rows (including the restored external-link icon for plants with a more-info URL) now land on both views automatically.
Multi-provider authentication — Sign in with Google, Apple, or email magic link. Choose what works for you.
Frost zone lookup — Enter your zip code and the app suggests your USDA hardiness zone and last frost date automatically.
Auth reliability improvements — Fixed race conditions in the sign-in flow for smoother first-time setup.

AI-native onboarding — New users get a conversational setup wizard: quick-pick plant cards, voice-first garden setup, and step-by-step zone creation.
Unified planting drawer — Replaced the old timeline scrubber and log panel with a single drawer showing the full picture: timeline, logs, tasks, supports, and Ask AI — all in one place.
Ask AI in the drawer — Ask questions about any planting and get answers grounded in your own logs and data.
Log-to-task sync — Creating a log entry that matches a pending task automatically completes it. No more double-entry.
Redesigned /plan layout — The planning page is now the daily hub (replaces /garden). Three-column layout with kraft paper aesthetic, responsive on mobile.
My Plants scrapbook — The plant library page is now a card-based scrapbook layout showing your garden history beautifully.
Mobile-responsive planning — The plan page stacks columns on mobile with horizontal pill navigation for a full planning experience on your phone.
Task completion redesign — Click a task to expand a planting log form inline, keeping you in flow.
Zone card redesign — Cleaner header actions, notes in the footer, and easier zone management.

Documentation site launched — You're reading it! Guides, feature docs, and AI-readable content.
Plant catalog expanded — Added hundreds of varieties across tomatoes, peppers, squash, cucumbers, eggplant, leafy greens, root vegetables, herbs, legumes, flowers, and fruit.
Task resynthesize endpoint — Tasks automatically update when plantings are modified or removed.
Timeline scrubber improvements — Dynamic catalog labels and smarter note display on the timeline.
Indoor start date fix — Corrected task date calculation for plants started indoors.

AI-powered planting summaries — Quick AI-generated summaries of planting history in popovers.
Dynamic timeline ranges — Timeline range adjusts based on relevant dates for your garden.
Serverless connection optimization — Database connection pool tuned for Vercel (max 1 connection, skip type fetch).

Milestone reordering — Drag-and-drop to reorder milestones within growing methods.
Soft delete for tasks — Removing a planting soft-deletes its associated tasks instead of orphaning them.

iOS app development started — SwiftUI app with Supabase auth, targeting iOS 17+.
Season planning tool — 3-act planning workflow: Reflect, Plan, Act.
Support tracking — Trellises, cages, stakes with color coding and availability tracking.
Zone management — Garden zones with sun exposure, constraints, and planting history.
