Plant selection prompts
Try: 'I have a 4x6 ft south-facing balcony in Zone 7. What vegetables can I grow in containers from April to October?' Include your zone, space, and sun exposure for relevant answers.
Troubleshooting prompts
Describe symptoms specifically: 'My basil has yellow leaves starting at the bottom, and the soil feels wet. What's wrong?' The more detail, the better the diagnosis.
Seasonal planning prompts
Ask: 'Create a month-by-month planting schedule for a New York City apartment balcony growing tomatoes, herbs, and greens.' Request specific timelines for your location.
