How it works
Real local data, then a guide written for this week.
- 1
You enter a location
A town, postal code or ZIP — or tap the locate button and your browser shares your coordinates. Nothing about you is stored with them.
- 2
We place you
We geocode the location, estimate your hardiness zone and average frost dates from ten years of daily climate reanalysis, and classify your ecological region — the forest, prairie, coast or desert you live in.

We read the week
This week's forecast, today's soil temperature at seed depth, sunrise and sunset, the moon's phase and solunar rating, named lakes and rivers within 20 km, and your province or state's fishing regulator.

The guide is written
All of that goes to an AI field guide that writes a practical plan for gardening, fishing and foraging in your region for this week — specific species, varieties, tactics and safety notes. It is refreshed weekly and cached so the next visitor from your area gets it instantly.
What to trust, and how much
The zone and frost dates are estimates from a climate grid roughly 10–25 km across. They usually land within half a zone and a week or two of official station values, but a lakeshore, a valley bottom or a city rooftop can differ. Treat them as a strong starting point, then learn your own yard.
The written guide draws on general regional knowledge; it is good at “what and when” and deliberately vague about anything regulated. Fishing seasons and limits always come from the linked regulator. Foraging identifications must always be confirmed against a regional field guide or a person who knows.
Data sources: Open-Meteo (forecast, soil, ERA5 climate), OpenStreetMap (places and water bodies), and the USDA hardiness scale. Ecological regions follow the CEC/EPA Level I–II framework, simplified.
