Percy: Garden Journal

Percy is a garden journal, garden planner, and personalized gardening assistant that remembers your garden for you.

Just talk, and Percy remembers what you share — the plantings, the harvests, the moments you want to hold onto — all turned into a living record of your season. Like a knowledgeable friend in the garden who remembers everything.

WHAT PERCY DOES:

LISTENS
Hold to talk, like a walkie-talkie. No forms, no plant-variety dropdowns. Just the dahlias you planted, the hummingbird that visited, the questionable bug that needed ID before admission. Add a photo if you like — Percy captures and organizes all of it.

REMEMBERS
Every note becomes part of your garden's story in The Nest — a coffee table book that writes a new page each time you share something. Say "I just planted the tomatoes," "the tomatoes are ripening," or "the squirrels ate the tomatoes. Again." No grids, no Gantt charts; Percy just organizes it and remembers it for you (even if you'd rather not).

REMEMBERS WHAT'S NEXT
Lightweight garden planning and reminders, without another system to manage. The thought you have with your hands full — "move the peonies in the fall," "plant the okra farther apart next year" can just be said out loud. Percy keeps it as a Twig and brings it back when the time comes. Spot something to try someday? Percy keeps that too, on a private Someday shelf you can search just by asking. Twigs are the things that build your Nest.

ANSWERS
Percy gives personalized garden advice grounded in your actual garden, not a stranger's. The questions you'd normally search for or post to a forum, answered by something that knows your zone, your frost dates, and everything you've grown. Ask why your tomatoes are struggling and Percy already knows the tomatoes. Every so often it speaks up first: when something you share sounds worrying, it offers a calm, grounded word, like a friend who's seen this bed before.

IDENTIFIES
Share a photo and Percy can identify plants, weeds, pests, insects and garden diseases. Ask whether a plant is native or invasive. Whether a bug is friend or foe. Whether that flower is one the pollinators will thank you for. An answer that's actually useful — what it means for your garden, not a Latin name and a wall of reference text. Anything you ID, you can ask Percy to remember, so next year when you can't recall whether you planted it on purpose (not that we've ever done that), Percy can.

KINDA GEEKS OUT
Percy notes the temperature, humidity, daylight and rainfall with every entry, and watches for frost in the forecast. By season's end you'll have something no spreadsheet does: a weather-linked history of your actual garden.

THE STORY OF YOUR SEASON
When your season winds down, Percy creates your Migration Report — your garden's season in review: your most-mentioned plants, your timeline, the victories, the varieties worth growing again and the ones we shall never speak of again. Your garden's story, assembled from moments you narrated while standing in the sunshine. Your first is part of your free season — next year's planning document you didn't have to write.

PERFECT FOR YOU IF…
You've finished a season and couldn't remember half of what happened
You'd rather be in the garden than managing an app about it
You want to understand your garden, not just log it

Your garden is yours. Percy doesn't sell your data. Ever.
