Keep plants on schedule with Tasks

Knowing what to do, to which plant, when, is half of gardening. The Tasks panel (Seasonry+) turns your planting into a month-by-month care plan, so nothing gets forgotten.

1. Open Tasks

Open the Tasks tool in the right rail. The panel opens on this month: a line or two on what your garden is doing, and a sheet of stickers, one for each job your plants need now.

2. Open a sticker's details

Each sticker names the plants, the job, and until when it can be done. Click one for its details: every plant it covers, bed by bed, how to do the job and why.

3. Stick a job on a day

Drag a sticker onto the day you plan it for, or press Stick it on a day in its details and click the day. Put it on today or an earlier day to record that you did it then. When a planned day has gone by, the sticker waits on the calendar until you press Done it.

Tip Not needed this year? Say so in the sticker's details, for all of its plants or just some.

4. Follow a plant's year

Click any plant to open its detail, then switch to the Care tab. It lists that plant's care jobs through the year, when to prune, feed, deadhead or lift, each tailored to the species.
