Built a voice-first garden journal after my notebooks failed me spectacularly. Would love feedback from real gardeners.

I kept losing my garden notes every season. Built something to fix it. Looking for feedback from real gardeners before I launch.

I’ve been gardening seriously for about five years now. Raised beds, fruit trees, a pollinator garden I’m unreasonably proud of. And every April I’d stand in front of empty beds trying to reconstruct what happened the previous season from memory, a few undated notebook entries, and a photo that might be a zucchini or might be a weed I was briefly interested in.

I tried garden apps. They wanted me to configure plant profiles and dashboards before I could log a single observation. I tried notebooks. I have three of them. Six entries each, none dated, one containing a grocery list.

So I built Percy — a voice-first garden journal. You hold a button like a walkie-talkie and say what you see. “First zucchini of the season.” “Something’s eating the basil.” “Pulled the garlic — biggest bulbs I’ve ever grown.” Percy organizes it, remembers it, and lets you ask questions about your garden later. “Which tomatoes did I say were worth growing again?” “What did I do about the squash bugs?” Real answers, from what you actually told it.

It’s launching Spring 2026 and I’m looking for feedback from gardeners who’ve had this problem — or who tried to solve it a different way that actually worked. What did I miss? What would make this genuinely useful to you? percy.garden if you want to take a look.
