Today

The few jobs that matter this morning, and why

Not a list of everything a garden could need. Today works out the handful of things worth doing in your beds now, groups them by place, and gives each one a short reason.

Overnight

It looks at your garden while you sleep

Every night Vercro checks each garden against its postcode’s forecast, the stage each crop has reached and simple pest, disease and care rules for the crops you grow.

Every job carries a one-line reason. Tap Why today? for the full explanation of the rule behind the job. It’s included on Free.

Vercro Why today? sheet for Check for slugs and snails in the back garden and the allotment: mild, cloudy weather with rain on the way suits slugs and snails, September evenings are when they are most active, and this round covers the young lettuce and kale in the back garden and the onions and purple sprouting broccoli at the allotment.

Looked, all clear

Tell it what you found, and it remembers

Some jobs are a look rather than a task: a dusk check for slugs, a glance at the potatoes for blight. Say what you found and it’s recorded against that bed.

If you tell it something isn’t ready yet, it remembers that too, rather than asking you again tomorrow.

Caught up

When nothing needs doing, it says so

No streaks and no list of forty jobs to feel behind on. When the day’s jobs are done, Today says “You’re done for today”. Anything ready to pick stays there, as an option.

“Keeping me on track with jobs I need to do daily”

Straight answers

What it doesn’t do

  • It doesn’t send push notifications at the moment. Open Today when it suits you. Email comes only when something in your garden is worth knowing, never more than twice a week.
  • Its jobs are only as good as what it knows. Crops with a sowing date and a bed give better timing than crops without.
  • Weather only shapes the jobs when your garden has a postcode.
  • The daily jobs are worked out overnight, not minute by minute.
