What is exciting is that it does seem to cover a number of the variables I'm looking to include in my growing spreadsheet:

  • days to harvest
  • pH range
  • light range
  • temperature range

There are also other interesting fields, e.g.:

  • humidity
  • spread
  • average height

Trefle gets its information from a bunch of sources, including USDA, Kew Royal Botanical Gardens, Wikimedia and PlantNet.
