GardenYour week
Live · This works today.
Your week lays out everything the garden is asking for across the next seven days, each job on the day it lands. Tap the number on your daily list to open it. You can tap any single job to do just that one, or close the screen having done nothing — there is no progress bar and nothing counts against you.
What it is
A single screen showing everything your garden is asking for over the next seven days.
Tap the number on your daily list — the big one, next to “things to do” — and this is what opens.
What is on it
The days themselves, down the page. Today first, then tomorrow, then the rest by name. Each one lists its jobs on a single line: what it is, and which plant.
Today is the only day split into groups, because it is the only one with a real mix — something that cannot wait sitting next to something that easily can. A live hardening week is lifted out and put first, because it is the one run where being an evening late costs you the plant.
The jobs that are simply due today sit straight under the heading with no label of their own. They used to carry one reading Today, four points under a heading reading Today.
“Further off” at the bottom. Anything you asked to be reminded about more than a week away. It is kept off your daily list on purpose, and this is the one place it shows up.
The rain, underneath. How much has fallen over the last two weeks, with a bar for each day. It is the forecast’s figure rather than a gauge in your garden, and it is the same record that stops the app asking you to water after a storm.
What you do with it
Whatever you like, including nothing.
Tap a single job and you get that one on its own. Or read it, work out in your head that Saturday morning is when you will deal with the apple tree, and close the app.
That last one is a real use of this screen, not a failure of it. There is no progress bar, no score, and nothing that treats an unticked job as something you owe.
Why most of it sits on today
Most garden work does not have a day attached. A watering check is due because the soil has dried out, not because it is Tuesday. Rather than invent a day for those and fill your week with fiction, they sit on today, which is where they honestly belong.
The jobs that do carry a real date are the ones you set yourself, and the once-a-year jobs on trees and bushes — pruning, feeding — where the window has an end. Those are what give the week its shape.
Common questions
- There is no Start button at the bottom any more. Was that on purpose?
- Yes, on 13 August 2026, and a real bug is what sent us looking. It read **Start all 6** and one of the six was a winter pruning job dated **30 December** — the button ran the whole deck, months of it, on a screen about this week. **Then every honest version of the count disagreed with the word on the button.** Limit it to jobs dated for today and it is still six, four of them sitting under a heading that says *This week*. Limit it to the genuinely urgent ones and it is two, under a heading that says six. There is no number that makes *Start today* true here, because this screen's Today column is not a list of things to do today — it is everything without a date, which is most of the garden. So the button was answering a question this screen does not ask. **Every row is still one tap into that job**, and the Start that means something is on your daily list, one tab away.
- What is the rain line under the week?
- **A record of what has fallen on your garden over the last two weeks — new on 25 August 2026.** It shows the total, and a small bar for each day so you can see whether it came in one storm or a week of drizzle. A day we hold nothing for is left blank rather than drawn as a dry day, because those are not the same thing and the record only starts from the day this shipped. **It is what the forecast expected for your area, not a rain gauge reading**, and the line under it says so. Nobody has a gauge in your garden and we are not going to pretend otherwise. The same record is what stops the app asking you to water the morning after a soaking.
- What is the difference between this and my daily list?
- Your daily list is for doing. It hands you one job at a time and you work through them. Your week is for looking. It shows everything at once, laid out over seven days, so you can see what is coming and decide in your head what you will get to. Same jobs, two purposes — one puts a card in front of you, the other steps back and shows you the shape of it.
- Why is there no progress bar?
- Because you have not agreed to anything. This screen exists so you can look at your week and think about it, and quite often the honest answer is that you will do none of it today. An app that scores you on that is an app you stop opening in July. Nothing here is a debt and nothing counts down.
- Why is nearly everything on today?
- Because most garden work does not have a date. A watering check is due because the soil dried out, not because it is Tuesday, so those sit on today where they honestly belong. The jobs that do carry a real day are the ones you asked for yourself and the once-a-year jobs on trees and bushes, and those are what fill the rest of the week.
- There used to be a row of colored bars at the top. Where did it go?
- Cut on 13 August 2026, and the reason is the same fact this whole screen is built on. **Most of what a garden asks for has no date.** A watering check is due because the soil dried out, not because it is Tuesday — so it lands on today, along with almost everything else, and the other six columns are empty. That is not the chart having a quiet week. **It is what the chart will show most weeks of most years**, which makes it a picture of one number, and the number is already printed next to the word Today. It cost about a sixth of the first screen to say it.
- Can I do just one job instead of the whole list?
- Yes. Tap any row and you get that job on its own, then you are done. That is the main reason this screen exists — from your daily list you get handed the jobs in order, and sometimes you want the one about the apple tree and nothing else.
- What is under "further off"?
- Reminders you set for more than a week away. They are deliberately kept off your daily list, because something six weeks out is not this morning's business, but they were not visible anywhere else either. They sit at the bottom here where you can see them without them nagging you.
