Garden diary

[Br3nda]

I use a paper garden diary to remind me of tasks, and suggest plantings. It would be great to see my plantings / progress in a diary form on growstuff. Would this feature be useful to anyone else?

Some scribblings in a moleskine.

Cool! I expect we'd want some kind of "export as ICS/RSS/etc" feature, so people could include their gardening diaries in Google Calendar or whatever.​

I have a branch for this -- but it lead into interesting thoughts.

I think perhaps we should consider merging plantings and harvests into one table. and then adding a type -- We can then display all events from an efficient query, and also start adding other types like "pest detected" or "storm damaged", or "transplanted" as further event types.

Had similar ideas for tasks like

• weeding reminders based on common weeds
• compost schedules (turn it)
• watering reminders
• other daily tasks

Given cron/scheduled tasks cost $; very keen on ical of events, with reminders that I can one click add to google calendar or similar.
