Open the app, do this week's tasks, close it. The rest of your gardening is just gardening.
Field reports
“I went from killing basil to putting up jars of pesto. Genuinely the only app on my phone that's made me a better person.”
“It politely told me to wait two weeks before sowing tomatoes. It was right. I was annoyed and then grateful.”
“My grandmother taught me. Dirt Nerd reminds me. Both have been correct so far.”
“Replaced four spreadsheets, two notebooks and a deeply unwell calendar.”
“I am a 24-year-old with one balcony pot. It made me feel like a real farmer.”
