About
"Did I already prune the currants this year?"
Garden Hour is not a plant encyclopedia. It answers a single question: what actually makes sense to do in your garden today.
TODAY Open the app and see: 8 tasks · 58 minutes. Tell it how much time you have and whether it's raining - it picks what matters most and calmly sets the rest aside. And when you can skip something, you learn why: "No watering needed, it rained yesterday." Reassurance without a reason is a black box; here every "you can skip it" comes with its explanation.
YOUR GARDEN, NOT A CATALOG No database of 800 tomato varieties. Your beds, greenhouse, cold frame, trees and bushes exactly as you have them - every plant with its own hand-painted watercolor (press and hold to see it in full). Tap to adjust the count, move a plant between beds, rename a bed "by the fence" the way you actually call it.
A DIARY THAT WRITES ITSELF Every task you check off becomes an entry. Your tomatoes get a story told by seasons: sowing, planting out, first harvest, yields in kilos - while routine quietly folds into one line, "Watered 45×". Come autumn, "2026 vs. 2025" reads itself. Photos and notes are a bonus, never a duty.
CROP ROTATION The garden remembers what grew where. When you plant a bed in spring, a quiet warning appears: "Tomatoes grew here in 2025" - at the exact moment you're deciding, not a page away.
GUIDES AT HAND How to prune raspberries, when to pinch tomatoes, how to graft an apple tree - step by step, with pictures, right on the plant or task they belong to.
WEATHER One switch: raining / not raining. Plus a quiet hint from Apple Weather ("11 mm of rain here in the last 24 h"). Weather advises; it never decides for you.
