The difference

Every other AI reads the internet. Rowan reads your garden.

When you ask a general AI tool about a yellowing leaf, it searches its training data and gives you a list of possible causes averaged across every garden everywhere. It does not know your bed. It does not know your soil. It does not know what you planted, when, or what happened there last season.

Rowan is different. Before responding to any question, Rowan reads the records GrowTrack has built for your garden. Your beds. Your planting history. Your soil notes. Your pest logs. Your yields.

The answer you receive is built around your specific situation. That is not a small distinction. It is the entire point.

Generic AI tool

"Yellow leaves on tomatoes can be caused by nitrogen deficiency, overwatering, underwatering, fungal disease, pests, or natural ageing of lower leaves. Check your watering schedule and consider a balanced fertiliser."

Rowan -- reading Bed 2

Looking at Bed 2, you had blight there in summer 2024. Conditions this week match that pattern. Lower leaf yellowing with brown edges is consistent with early blight returning. Remove affected leaves now, improve airflow, and apply a copper-based spray. Do not compost the removed leaves.

Rowan in action

Real conversations. Real gardens.

Example 1 -- Pest identification
There are small black flies all over my broad beans in Bed 1. What should I do?
That is blackfly. Looking at Bed 1, you had the same problem in May last year. The most effective intervention from your records was a strong water spray followed by soft soap solution. Pinch out the growing tips now -- blackfly cluster there first. Check your runner beans in Bed 2 as well.
Example 2 -- Harvest timing
Are my Desiree potatoes ready to harvest yet?
You planted your Desirees in Bed 3 on 28 March. That puts them at 14 weeks now. Last year your Desirees in the same bed were at their best at week 18 -- around 15 July. Weather has been warmer this season so you may be a week or so ahead of that. Dig up one plant and check the skin -- if it rubs off easily they need another week or two.
Example 3 -- Planning advice
Bed 2 will be clear in two weeks. What should I plant there for autumn?
Looking at Bed 2's history, you had brassicas there last autumn and runner beans this summer. For crop rotation, a root vegetable or allium would be the right next choice. Given your location and the mid-July timing, I would suggest autumn carrots, beetroot, or overwintering onion sets. Your best yield in Bed 2 from the records was the Chantenay carrots two seasons ago. Shall I set a sowing reminder?
