A warm, dry Saturday in the garden with the kids

Planting weekend is a day, not a date. Perfect Day watches the forecast for your garden and sends one message when the right one is coming: Saturday looks like the day for the garden. 10 am to 4 pm, 62–72°, dry, still. In spring and autumn it can watch the cold end too, so the last afternoon before frost is a day you use rather than a morning you regret.

What counts as a garden day

Warm enough for seedlings and for small helpers, rain chance low for the afternoon, wind under what flattens what you just planted, and enough hours in a row to finish the bed. Set a second rule for the cold: a night dipping toward freezing gets one message in time to bring the tender things in.

How it works

Describe a good day once: a temperature range, how humid is too humid, how much rain chance you will accept, how much wind, and how many good hours in a row you need. Add the places. Perfect Day fetches five weather models every three hours, averages them hour by hour, and judges the next ten days against your rule. When a day qualifies, everyone on the account gets one plain message. When the forecast turns, one more. Otherwise, nothing — which is most weeks.
