What this does
This post helps you create simple, personalized fall and spring garden prep checklists so nothing important gets missed. Instead of relying on memory or generic lists, you’ll use AI to generate season-specific tasks based on your climate, garden type, and energy level.
Why it's useful
Many gardening problems start months earlier because key prep steps were skipped or done at the wrong time. Online checklists are often too long, too generic, or unrealistic. This prompt creates a focused, doable plan so you know exactly what matters for your garden—and what you can safely ignore.

Prompt
I want clear, simple fall and spring garden prep checklists that fit my climate, garden type, and available energy. I don’t want an overwhelming master list—I want to focus on what actually makes a difference for my garden.
Here is my information:
– Where I live (city/state or region): [your location]
– Type of garden (vegetable, flowers, shrubs, lawn, mixed): [garden type]
– Garden size (small, medium, large): [size]
– Climate considerations (hard freezes, mild winters, extreme heat, heavy rain): [climate notes]
– My realistic energy level (low, moderate, high): [energy level]
Please create:
A Fall Garden Prep Checklist with must-do items, nice-to-do items, and things I can skip.
A Spring Garden Prep Checklist with the same structure.
Simple timing guidance for each checklist (early fall vs late fall, early spring vs after frost).
Clear explanations for why each task matters so I understand the impact.
A short “minimum effort version” of each checklist for busy or low-energy weeks.
Common prep mistakes people make in fall and spring and how to avoid them.
Keep everything practical, seasonal, and beginner-friendly. Assume I want consistency and progress—not perfection.
How this helps you
You stop scrambling each season and start feeling prepared. With clear checklists tailored to your garden, you’ll reduce plant stress, improve growth, and avoid preventable problems—all without turning gardening into a second job.
