Built by a mom of
two under two.

My son started solids in December 2024. He was born in June, turned 6 months in December, and I had completely missed the growing window. I'd planted zucchini and broccoli and snap peas that summer without thinking about timing at all. The harvest came in August. He wasn't ready until December. There was nothing left.

I went looking for a tool that could connect a garden's planting schedule to a baby's feeding timeline. It didn't exist. So I built it.

That winter, I found out I was pregnant again. My daughter was born October 31, 2025. She's five months old now and getting close to starting solids. The whole timing question is live for us again, from scratch, with a toddler also underfoot.

I'm not writing this from the other side of having figured it out. I'm using SowAndSpoon right now to plan what to start indoors before our last frost (we're zone 6a, right by Lake Erie, which means late May before I trust it). My almost-two-year-old will pull things out of the beds whether I want him to or not. The app helps me stay one step ahead anyway.

The app is simple on purpose. You enter your baby's birthday and it tells you what to plant now so the harvest lands when they're ready to eat it. You log crops as you plant them, and it sends a reminder a week before each one is due. When your baby tries something, you log it. Reactions, allergens, the 3-day wait, it tracks all of it.

No garden? The food log, allergen tracker, and rainbow tracker work without one. I'd rather have something useful to as many parents as possible than build something that only works if you have raised beds and a compost system.

I had 12 beds before kids. I have 4 now. Two of them are basically toddler beds: snap peas, cherry tomatoes, sunflowers, things he can pull off the plant himself and eat before I even see them. That still counts. A zucchini from your own garden to your baby's plate the same morning is genuinely different from one that has been in a truck for five days. You do not need a lot of space for that to be true.
