the frost alert is the one I'd stress test - is that pulling from a regional forecast or does it actually account for the specific spot in the yard? a bed against a south facing wall and an open exposed corner of the same garden can be several degrees apart on a cold night, and that's exactly the kind of gap that turns "never miss a frost" into a false sense of safety
@galdayan fair challenge, and honest answer: it's a point forecast for the garden's coordinates (Open-Meteo), not per-bed. We don't model microclimates inside the garden yet. You're right that a south facing wall vs an open corner can be several degrees apart on a clear night - thats exactly why the alert fires at +2°C forecast minimum instead of 0. The buffer is there to cover the cold spots the forecast can't see. So the failure mode is a warning your sheltered bed didn't strictly need, not silence while the exposed corner freezes. Per-bed microclimate is on the wishlist (we already have the plan geometry, walls included), but I won't pretend it's in there today.
The to-scale 2D canvas is such a smart call — way more useful for actual spacing decisions than those generic drag-and-drop grids most garden apps throw at you. Really thoughtful piece of design.
@alsac_zafe13716 Thanks Zafer! Spacing was the whole point - a generic grid can't tell you a hosta will swallow the path in two years, a to-scale plan can.
Fun bonus: once the 2D plan is drawn, you can flip it into a 3D view of the garden (screenshot below) - same data, just rendered with real plant heights and spreads. Great for checking what a bed will actually look like once things mature.
What are you planning to map first?
Plotted out my tiny herb patch in about ten minutes and the plant suggestions actually matched my shady balcony. The disease-spotting photo tool worked surprisingly well on a crispy basil leaf.
@ebubekirna9spz Ten minutes for a full herb patch is exactly what we aim for, thanks Ebubekir! Shady balconies are an underrated test case - most apps just assume everyone has a sunny backyard.... And glad the disease tool earned its keep on the basil 😄 was it overwatering or a fungus?
Curious what it caught - crispy leaves are one of the trickier calls because five different problems look almost identical.
