The weather app for the garden

Workable soil and a mild window.

Knowday reads whether the ground's right to dig, the air's mild enough to work in, and the rain holds off — then tells you when today's good in the garden.

What matters in the garden

The reads that decide a dig.

Is the soil workable?

Workable

Too wet and the beds compact and clump; bone-dry and you're fighting the trowel. Knowday models the soil moisture near you and reads it as workable, soggy, or hard.

Mild air to work in

Mild

Planting and weeding is slow, bent-over work. Knowday finds the mild window so you're not doing it in the heat of the day.

Rain after you plant

Rain PM

A little rain after transplanting is a gift; a downpour washes seed away. Knowday watches the rain window so you time it around the new bed.

Sun and wind for tender work

UV 5

Lower UV for the hours you'll be out, and the wind that scatters seed and dries out fresh transplants — the small reads that protect new growth.

How it works

How Knowday thinks about gardening.

It scores the soil moisture for workability, the feels-like, the rain window, wind, humidity, and UV.

One honest limit: we don't forecast frost dates for your beds — pair Knowday with your local last-frost date, and remember low pockets and rooftops run colder, so a borderline-frost night deserves a cover. (Pollen isn't tracked yet, either.)

Gardening is one of fourteen plans Knowday reads — walks and rides, the lawn, the garden, camping, the night sky, and the water.
