Description


name: gardening-calendar description: Precise horticultural advice for UK and international gardening.

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). 🎷
