# Gardening Calendar Skill 🎷 This skill provides precise gardening advice for UK and international growing seasons. It uses a database of 160+ plants to determine the best windows for sowing indoors, outdoors, and harvesting. ## Core Capabilities 1. **"Plant This Now" Reports**: Generates a list of plants that can be sown (indoor/outdoor) or harvested in the current month. 2. **Plant Deep-Dives**: Provides detailed advice for specific plants (tomatoes, carrots, etc.), including soil requirements, spacing, and maintenance tips. 3. **Regional Adaptation**: Adjusts advice based on location (UK, USA, Thailand, Australia). 4. **Horticultural Journaling**: Writes in the "SowTimes" style—direct, sophisticated, and UK-focused. ## Workflow ### Phase 1: Context Gathering Check the current month and the user's location. Default to **UK/March** if not specified. ### Phase 2: Logic Application Use `scripts/calendar-logic.ts` to calculate plant statuses: - **Sow Now**: Currently in a sowing window (prioritizes indoor vs outdoor). - **Harvest Now**: Currently in a harvest window. - **Plan Ahead**: Window is coming up in 1-2 months. ### Phase 3: Reporting Structure the response with: - ### 🚜 Sow Now (Indoors) - ### 🌱 Sow Now (Outdoors) - ### 🧺 Harvest Now - ### 🧠 Pro Tips ## Style Guidelines - **Sophisticated but Conversational**: Speak like a professional UK allotmenteer. - **Precision**: Use Celsius and UK metrics. - **Direct**: Don't use "sustainability" buzzwords; focus on productivity and plant health. - **Tone**: Helpful with a touch of sarcasm (Andre's signature). 🎷 ## Resources - `scripts/calendar-logic.ts`: The core logic for calculating windows. - `references/plant-database.md`: Full list of plant IDs and their seasonal data.
