Search finds cultivars too. In the Crop Library, search now looks through crop names, botanical families and cultivar names at once. Type a variety you remember from a seed catalogue and its crop comes up, with the matching cultivars listed under it; results are sorted by Relevance.
Fixes
Crop Map: a planting no longer disappears, or gets saved in the wrong bed, when Heirloom refuses a drop.
Crop Map: a bed is now counted as taken only while the planting is in the ground, so free beds show up where they really are.
Crop Map: a planting edited to a bigger amount stays in its bed instead of jumping elsewhere.
Panels stay open when you pick a date in a date picker.
Default dates that fit your farm. When you add a planting in the Game Plan, Heirloom now proposes dates inside the crop’s good sowing window for your frost dates, in the season you are looking at. In hot climates, where the best window runs over the new year, the proposed dates follow it instead of jumping a year ahead.
Favorite crops everywhere. The Charts quick filter is now called Favorite crops, and the Getting Started step asks you to Choose a favorite crop: the same favorites you keep in the Crop Library.
Keep only the crops you grow on screen
Sales Channels: Hide disabled keeps the channels you no longer use out of the way.
The Game Plan menu is now called Actions.
The cultivar list of the planting form is sorted alphabetically.
The seed order export gives the seed weight and its unit in two columns, easier to sort and sum in a spreadsheet.
Fixes
Climate-adjusted days to maturity now read the curve at the right week of the year.
Farms that had no weather history get it back, so climate-adjusted days to maturity work for them too.
The Game Plan keeps its scroll position when you jump to a planting.
Opening a chart link from the planting form no longer resets the form.

New
Favorites for your season. Mark the crops and cultivars you actually grow as favorites in the Crop Library, then show only them with Favorites only. Your favorite cultivars come first when you pick one in a planting, so the list stays short.
A filled bookmark marks this season’s crops
A crop panel with what you need to know. Open a crop to read About this crop, see its cultivars with the seed companies that offer them (Offered by), and start a planting with Create planting. From a planting’s panel you can open its crop’s panel on top, and go back without losing your place.
Beginning year of a field block. Each field block and greenhouse now shows the season it starts in, and you can change its Beginning year. Heirloom warns you before a later start year unassigns earlier plantings.
Improvements
Crops and cultivars from an earlier version of the catalogue carry a Legacy badge that explains which one to use now.
Crop Library: filter on several crop types at once, and sort by Number of active plantings.
Duplicating a season into an earlier year now rebuilds that year’s farm, blocks and tunnels included.
Recurring tasks. In the mobile app, a new task can repeat At a regular interval or on Specific days of the week, until the end date you choose: watering the nursery, checking the irrigation, the Friday market prep. When you delete or assign one, Heirloom asks whether it applies to This task only or to All tasks in this series.
Creating a task in the mobile app is organised in tabs (General, Assignations, Recurrence, Notes), with its location and estimated time.
Need a task that is not in your list? Create it on the spot with New task.
In the Charts Tasks chart, a repeating crop task can now run Until transplanted or direct seeded, Until ready to harvest or Until harvested.

In the Crop Library, filter cultivars by seed company.
Improvements
Nursery containers: hide the trays you never use with Hide container, and find them again with Show hidden.
Weekly Harvests: the table has pages, and a filter to show all plantings, the active ones, or only those with something to harvest.
Crop Map: a counter shows how many plantings are assigned out of the total; click it to open the list of plantings to place.
Multi-edit in the Game Plan. Select several plantings, choose a value under Select value to edit (days to maturity, spacing, price, number of containers and more), and Apply: one change instead of ten. Heirloom offers only the values the selected plantings share.
One value changed on every selected planting
Improvements
Crop Map printing: choose High Quality or Medium Quality; medium generates the images faster.
Empty pages now tell you what to do first and link you to it, from the Dashboard to the Nursery.
Changing a task’s completion date that would push a planting off its beds now warns you before unassigning it.
Unassigning a planting carried over from the previous season asks first, since it also leaves last season’s map.
The planting panel. Open a planting to see everything about it in one place: Information (spacing, nursery, expected yield and revenue), Tasks with their completion dates, Notes for the planting and its crop, and Harvests. Tick a step when it is done and the plan follows.

The Crop Map remembers your zoom and position for each season.
Each crop has a Nutrient demand, from None to High, that you can set on your own crops.
Game Plan: sort by implantation, nursery or harvest date, or by successions, and filter on Planting methods. From the dates view, start a new succession by choosing its crop.
Editing a whole succession warns you that it can override changes made to single plantings.
The Nursery page. Heirloom reads your Game Plan and shows, week by week, how much nursery space your seedlings will take against the surface of your propagation tables. See the crunch weeks months ahead, while there is still time to move a sowing or set up an overflow table.
Enter your nursery space once for the season.
The weekly graph compares the space needed with your space.

Fixes
Seed and container counts are right for plantings grown in containers.
Deleting a whole season with more than a thousand plantings works.
Clear all plantings. Starting a season over no longer means deleting plantings one by one. In the Game Plan, Clear all plantings removes every succession of the season and what comes with it, and shows you first which items will be affected, so you know exactly what you are clearing.
Affiliates. If you like Heirloom, you can now recommend it with your own link, in the new Affiliates tab of Settings.

Interplanting. Basil between your tomatoes, radishes in the carrot bed: you can now plan a companion crop in the same bed as a main crop. Mark the companion as Interplanted: it shares the bed on your Crop Map without taking the main crop’s space or pushing other plantings aside.
Highlight interplanted plantings in the Crop Map options shows your companions at a glance.
When several plantings share a spot, Select Planting lets you pick the one you want.
Interplanted plantings also show on the Crop Map of the mobile app.
The basil shares the tomato beds without taking their space
Container growing. A new planting method for crops you grow and sell in pots or trays, such as seedlings for your plant sale. In Charts > Crop yield, the Nursery Harvest tab gives each crop a Yield / Container and a Revenue / Container, so these sales count in your season’s revenue.

Fixes
In the planting window, changing the harvest unit no longer resets the seeds unit.
The Workload Graph no longer counts cancelled plantings.
Climate-adjusted days to maturity. A carrot sown in May does not take as long as one sown in August. Heirloom now adjusts days to maturity to your farm’s own climate, day length included, week by week, so your harvest dates are closer to what your field will really do.
Turn on Use climate-adjusted DTM in the planting window; the days to maturity then follow the planting date.
A message warns you when a planting is outside its optimal growing period.

Recurring tasks. Weeding every ten days until harvest no longer means ten tasks to create. In Charts > Tasks, set how often a crop’s task repeats and until which stage of the planting; every new planting of that crop then gets the whole series on the right dates, and it moves with the planting.
Plantings in the mobile app. See each planting of the season on your phone, with its progress through nursery, growth and harvest, its dates, cultivar, planting method and location, and what it is expected to yield and earn. It works offline too.
July 2025
New
Overlapping plantings detected. When you drag a planting in the Game Plan, change its dates or edit a succession, Heirloom now checks whether it would share a bed with another planting at the same time. If it does, it tells you which plantings are affected and offers two choices: keep this planting and unassign the others, or unassign this one. No more double-booked beds on the Crop Map.
A Crop Map that stays up to date. When a teammate, or you in another tab, changes a planting, the Crop Map updates without a refresh.
Fixes
Fewer false overlap warnings on plantings that exactly fill a bed.
Sign-in on the mobile app is smoother, and the keyboard closes after a wrong password.

Workload in hours. Under Tasks, My Workload Graph now has a View by hour next to View by planting amount: the hours your plan asks for, week by week and by type of work. Above the graph, Season total, Average per week and Peak week sum up the season, and Peak period staffing estimates how many people you need over your busiest weeks, so you can hire before the rush instead of during it.
Task times from your Charts. The times you set in the Tasks chart of your Charts now apply to the planting, nursery and harvest tasks of each crop. Leave a time blank or at 0 and Heirloom uses the default time of that task type. Tasks now show their Estimated time, including when you add one by hand.
Improvements
The nursery task export now includes the location and beds of each planting.
Fixes
Season dates are right again for farms in the southern hemisphere.
The estimated revenue percentage on the Dashboard is correct again.

Two brassicas in a row stand out at once
In Farm data, the crop families table lets you change a family’s colour, create your own and reset one to its default.
The Crop Library shows each crop’s family under its name, sorts by Crop families and finds crops by family in the search.
Rest a field block for a season. On the Farm Map, switch off Active this season on a field block or greenhouse you leave fallow this year. It stays on the map but no longer counts as available space in that season’s planning, and previous seasons are not affected.
Improvements
Export your tasks for a date Range or for one specific week.
Once a planting has started, it can be canceled but no longer deleted, so its history stays in your plan.

The optimal seeder density on direct seeding tasks is right again, in metric and imperial units.
Harvest tasks no longer disappear from the task list.
Growers outside North America no longer see weekly harvests land on the previous day.
Changing a planting from transplanting to purchased transplants with potting up now removes the tasks it no longer needs.
Cancel a planting. When a sowing fails or you change your mind, use Cancel planting instead of deleting it. A canceled planting stays on your Game Plan as a reference for next winter’s planning, but no longer counts in your expected yields and revenue. Its tasks are canceled with it, and Restore planting brings everything back.
In the task list, the Canceled tasks filter shows or hides the tasks of canceled plantings.
Canceled tasks are included in the task export.
Weather forecast on the Week Board. The Week Board now shows the forecast for your farm on each day of the week, so you can plan transplanting, seeding and harvests around the rain.

Seeds safety margin in your Charts. Set the extra seeds you sow to cover losses once per crop or cultivar, in the direct seeding and transplant charts. Every new planting starts with your margin, so your seed and transplant counts match how you really work.
Improvements
Notifications. A bell in the top bar tells you about new features and release notes, so you know what changed without looking for it.
Task notes at a glance. In the task List and on the Week Board, a task that carries a note shows a small note icon. Hover over it to read the instructions before heading to the field.
Fixes
The Game Plan export works again.
Apply to existing plantings in your Charts updates your plantings as expected.
Farm data. A new Farm data section holds the details that belong to your farm. It starts with Nursery containers: click Add container for a tray or pot Heirloom does not have, such as a 200-cell tray, with its Number of cells. It then shows up in your plantings’ container list, so your tray and seed counts follow the trays you actually own.
Today line on the Game Plan. A line marks today across the timeline, so you see at a glance which plantings should already be in the ground and what comes next.
Improvements
Location type in the planting panel. The panel that opens when you click a planting now shows whether it is in the field, a greenhouse or a tunnel.
Plantings that do not fill whole beds. You can now place a planting on beds that already hold another one, even when it spans several beds. Two plantings of 1.5 beds each fit side by side on 3 consecutive beds, the way you would lay them out in the field.
Fixes
Several Crop Map fixes when placing and moving plantings.
Weekly availability in Weekly Harvests is calculated correctly again.
Custom crops. When a crop you grow is missing from the Crop Library, click Create crop and add it with its type, its name and a 3-letter short name. You can then plan it like any other crop, instead of borrowing a look-alike.
Save a planting’s values to your Charts. When you enter new values in a planting, Heirloom offers to save them to your Charts, so the next planting of that crop starts from your own figures.
Apply to existing plantings. After changing a row in your Charts, use Apply to existing plantings to send the new values to the plantings already in your plan, instead of editing them one by one.
Bring back Heirloom’s values or send yours to your plantings

The planting panel in the Game Plan shows the harvest progress, and a planting being harvested shows Harvest in progress.
A message guides you to create your first sales channel when Weekly Harvests is still empty.
A clearer Weekly Harvests page. Your plantings and what they can give stay on the left, your quantities on the right. Choose how you split the week in View by: the Sales channel view shows one customer at a time, handy to fill a restaurant order; the Week days view shows one day at a time, handy to prepare the day’s picking list.
One customer at a time, or one day at a time
Filter by crop type, and choose whether to show plantings without a weekly figure.
Each planting shows its harvest progress over its whole harvest window.
Harvests. A new module turns your Game Plan into a weekly picking list: what each planting can give this week, and how much goes to each customer, on each harvest day.
Sales Channels: one per outlet, such as your Saturday market, your CSA or a restaurant, with the months it runs and the days you harvest for it.
Weekly Harvests: enter the quantity for each customer and harvest day. Heirloom estimates what each planting can give from its expected yield and harvest window.
Harvest tasks: each quantity lands in the harvest task of that planting and day in Tasks, with the Total to harvest.
Set as harvested once the harvest is in the crate, from Weekly Harvests or by checking off the task.

Show it on the Game Plan from the view menu (the eye button), and use the Planting states filter to list, say, everything still waiting to be transplanted.
Turn on the planting states from the Game Plan view options
Your plan follows what really happened. When you complete a nursery sowing, a direct seeding or a transplant task, the planting takes that real date, and its later tasks and harvest window move with it. You can also enter the completion date from the planting preview in the Game Plan. A date set by a completed task is locked, so your record of the season stays true.
Improvements
The Game Plan export keeps your current sort order and now includes the harvest window.
The Tasks List export can include Overdue tasks when you pick a week.
You can change your account email address in your settings.
Apply chart values to plantings already in your plan. Changed a spacing, a nursery time or a yield in Charts? Open the menu at the end of the crop’s line and apply the new values to that crop’s plantings for the season, instead of editing them one by one. It works for the direct seeding, transplant, nursery and yield charts.
Heirloom tells you how many plantings will change before you apply
Reset line values and Restore to default values bring a line back to Heirloom’s values.
Delete row removes a cultivar line you no longer need.
Duplicate a planting. Copy a planting in one click instead of typing it again, then adjust what differs.
