Gardening is often seen as an art, but it's also a science. One of the most powerful data points you can use is avg_days_maturity.
Why Maturity Days Matter
Every plant variety has a specific lifecycle. Knowing exactly how many days a plant needs from sowing to harvest allows you to:
- Plan Succession Planting: As soon as one crop finishes, you know exactly when the next one needs to go in.
- Maximize Your Season: Fit more crops into your growing window by choosing faster-maturing varieties.
- Predict Harvest Dates: Know exactly when you'll need to be ready for canning or freezing.
Using the API for Planning
With the Growico API, you can fetch this data programmatically:
GET /api/v1/plants?name_common=Lettuce
The response gives you the avg_days_maturity for different lettuce varieties, helping you choose the right one for your timeline. No more guessing!
