Reminders
Reminders are time-based garden tasks — the things you need to remember to do but will forget without a nudge. They can be linked to a specific planting or stand alone.
Creating a reminder
  1. Go to Reminders in the sidebar and click Add reminder.
  2. Enter the task description — be specific ("Feed tomatoes with liquid fertiliser" not just "Fertilise").
  3. Set a due date.
  4. Optionally link the reminder to a specific planting — it'll then show in that planting's event history as well.
  5. Save.
The reminders list
Reminders are shown grouped by status:
Overdue
Past their due date and not yet done.
Due today
Due today.
Upcoming
Due in the next 7 days.

Good uses for reminders
  • Weekly or fortnightly feed schedule for heavy feeders (tomatoes, brassicas)
  • Pest inspections after rain ("check for slugs — Tue")
  • Succession sow dates ("sow next lettuce batch — 3 weeks")
  • Frost cloth reminder as autumn approaches
  • "Check garlic — harvest test" around expected maturity
Tip: Keep reminders specific and actionable. A reminder you can complete in 5 minutes is more useful than a vague "check the garden" reminder you'll keep pushing forward.
