How to do it, step by step

  1. Ask Gemini: "I live near [town or zip code]. What's my growing zone, and what vegetables should I plant and when?"
  2. Tell it your space: "I have a sunny 10 by 12 foot spot." Ask for a simple layout.
  3. Ask for a month-by-month to-do list.
  4. When something looks wrong, snap a photo with Seek or Google Lens to identify the plant, bug or disease.
  5. Ask the AI for the simplest fix, and try natural options first.
Tip: Start small. A small garden you keep up beats a big one full of weeds.
