About
A simple answer to a very daily garden question: should I water today?
Why Does This Exist?
It started with a perfectly reasonable question: “Should I water the plants, or has the weather already done it for me?”
Standard weather apps give you a temperature and a rain icon, but plants experience the whole sequence: rain that already fell, heat and wind that dry things out, and rain that may arrive next.
This site turns those moving parts into a friendly watering verdict. It is designed for pots, raised beds, borders, and the quick check you make before heading outside with a hose.
What the score looks at
Recent rain
Moisture from the last few days can still be doing useful work below the surface.
Rain ahead
A decent shower arriving soon can make watering now unnecessary.
Your planting spot
Pots, raised beds, and open ground lose and hold water differently.
The last watering
Your own watering history helps the score understand the starting point.
⚠ A Word of Warning
Weather data is useful, but it is not a perfect reading of your garden. A pot against a sunny wall, a sheltered balcony, and a heavy clay border can all behave differently from the nearest forecast point.
Use the verdict as a nudge, not gospel. If the top few centimetres of soil are dry, water slowly. If they are cool and damp, give the plants another check later.
