## Description

This MCP server provides precise agricultural scheduling tools to help gardeners plan their seasons. Use `calculate_planting_schedule` to generate a full chronological timeline including seed-starting, hardening-off, and transplanting dates. You can also use `get_succession_intervals` to plan continuous harvests and `verify_frost_safety` to ensure your plants survive predicted frost events based on their specific frost tolerance.

## Tools

### calculate_planting_schedule
Generates a full chronological timeline for a single plant to meet a specific harvest goal

### get_succession_intervals
Determines the timing for multiple plantings to achieve a continuous supply of produce

### verify_frost_safety
Validates if a specific planting window is safe based on frost tolerance

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
When should I start tomato seeds indoors if I want to harvest them on 2024-07-15 and they take 80 days to mature?
```

**Response:** 
```
To harvest tomatoes on July 15th, 2024, you should start your seeds indoors on 2024-04-10, begin hardening them off on 2024-05-25, and transplant them outdoors on 2024-06-01.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Help me plan a continuous harvest for lettuce that matures in 50 days and stays harvestable for 10 days. I want to sow every 14 days.
```

**Response:** 
```
Your planting dates will be 2024-03-01, 2024-03-15, 2024-03-29, and 2024-04-12. This will create a continuous harvest window from 2024-04-20 to 2024-05-12.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is it safe to transplant my tender basil if a frost is predicted on 2024-05-10 and I plan to transplant on 2024-05-05?
```

**Response:** 
```
No, it is not safe. Since basil is a tender plant, any frost occurring after the transplant date will likely kill it.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I know when to start my seeds indoors?**
You can use the `calculate_planting_schedule` tool. By providing the plant's maturity days and your target harvest date, it will calculate the exact `indoorSeedStart` date for you.

**Can I plan for a continuous harvest?**
Yes, use the `get_succession_intervals` tool. It calculates the specific dates you should sow subsequent batches to ensure you have produce available throughout the season.

**How does the tool handle frost risks?**
The server uses `verify_frost_safety` to check if a plant's frost tolerance (hardy, half-hardy, or tender) is compatible with predicted frost dates and your planned transplant date.
