Season progress GDD base‑50 from Jan 1

My food plots readiness by days since planting, not bloom date

Fill the gaps plants to sow during dearth windows
🍂 Fall observations matter even more than spring ones: goldenrod, aster, and other late bloomers respond more to shortening day length (photoperiod) than to accumulated heat, so the base-50 GDD model is a rougher fit for them. Logging real fall sightings — and frost dates below — is the best way to sharpen this end of the calendar.
For the most precise calibration, look up the real accumulated GDD on the
USA‑NPN AGDD map ↗
(set the date, base 50°F, click your spot) and paste it in the Precise GDD field. Leave it blank and the app estimates it automatically.
⚠ Observations and notes you log are shared publicly with other users — don't include personal information in the notes.

What's new newest first
My Food Plots now has a "Plan backward from a date" calculator — enter a target date (like opening day of deer season) and the plants you're considering, and it tells you the latest safe planting date for each.
Added a one-tap "Identify plant" button to the top controls, visible from every tab — jumps straight to the photo picker instead of requiring you to find "Not in list" in Log My Blooms first.
Added "Sunflower (Planted)" as a separate entry from wild Sunflower — a real planted field is a genuine nectar/pollen source, unlike scattered wild stands, but it's not counted as already there unless someone actually planted one.
The Timeline now shows Nectar dearth (red) and Pollen dearth (amber) as separate colors instead of one combined "dearth" band — pollen dearth is the worse case (nothing blooming at all) and now shades over the red where it applies.
Fixed plant/mushroom names scrolling off with the bars on the Timeline and Mushrooms tabs — names now stay frozen on the left while you scroll sideways through the months.
Gardener view now actually filters to garden/vegetable/fruit plants instead of showing everything. PlantNet photo ID can now hand an already-known plant straight to the log-a-bloom form with one click instead of making you find it yourself.
Mushrooms tab now shows a Timeline-style chart like Plants/Timeline — a bar per mushroom with a line for today's date. Also: split "dearth" into separate Nectar and Pollen alerts, and fixed several plants (Sunflower, Partridge Pea, Thistle, Cotton, Buckwheat, cover crops) that were papering over a real summer nectar dearth in the model.
Mushrooms tab: fixed rows showing huge gaps between each mushroom, and added a Sort by (Name / Season start) option.
Plant details now show "Last year: bloomed [date]" when you've logged that plant at this location before.
Added this "What's New" tab.
Added a filter to view one food plot at a time instead of everything stacked together.
Food plot readiness now shows "~12 days to ready" instead of just "Establishing."
Food plots can now hold a blend of several plants, not just one.
Moved the tab bar higher up the page and gave it its own background so it's easier to find and read.
Added Turnip and a "My Food Plots" tracker for the Hunter/Land Manager view — readiness by planting date instead of bloom date.
The Colony forage widget in WaggleOps now uses your device's real location.
Fixed the Bloom tab and Colony forage widget not sharing your location with each other.
Fixed the app sometimes showing outdated plant data right after an update.
Added the ability to report a flow-rating correction for a plant. Fixed Google sign-in.
Fixed plant names getting stuck on the timeline. States now sort alphabetically.
Added an in-app "Report a problem" button.
Clearer controls for the operator key.
Fixed a bug so newly-recorded sightings actually show up.
Added real growing-degree-day data pulled from the nearest personal weather station.
Fixed the version label so it actually matches what's live.
Released as a real app for iPhone/Android, not just a website — and renamed to Bloom Calendar.
Visual refresh — new teal + honey color scheme shared across the app family.
Added a soil/land-cover map layer and a "locate me" button.
Calibration offset now shows in weeks (not just days) once it's a week or more.
Calibration offset now also translates to "typical summer days" for easier reading.
Community-logged sightings now pool into the calibration model once admin-approved.
Added GPS-based microclimate adjustment to the main forecast.
Plant and city data now loads from the server, for faster and more reliable updates.
Version-tracking and behind-the-scenes cleanup.
Initial release.
