“You’re right to push back, when you create a new plant layout on Fridays, it does drop the entire database and rm -rf / your system, would you like me to fix that for you?”

I agree. You can literally get bespoke software for your exact needs in a couple of afternoons now.

This is exactly what I did earlier this week. There are some available garden management tools out there, but they are very limited, and mostly aimed at larger farm-like situations. I also have a small orchard and a vegetable garden, and a spreadsheet felt almost as much work and less flexible than letting Claude build something bespoke. (Also, I absolutely abhor spreadsheets) Since I didn’t plant everything myself, I even included a feature to make a photo, and ask Claude all the basic questions about it. It then stores all that information into the “knowledge base”. I can add to the same KB manually whenever I buy new seeds or get crops. I’m now letting it work on a visual representation of my yard, so it’s easy to work with. Took me a couple of evenings in total on the cheapest plan (I’m not in a hurry). It helps that I’m a software engineer by trade, which allowed me to make tons of decisions myself, guiding it more strictly. My recommendation to those that are not is to ask it to present you with decisions in a multiple-choice format, with good explanations of each answer. That makes it easier to get started even with little experience.
