Field notes

SowJournal says gardeners set a location once, after which calendar windows shift between places such as Den Haag and Murcia. The described workflow combines crop favorites, dated seed-packet records, a bed grid, and camera-based label reading, with local matching followed by public lookups when necessary. Its own caveats are unusually clear: the calendar is guidance rather than a forecast, frost can overrule it, and the tool cannot guarantee yields.
