Ugh, I mean the key is to just act like it's no big deal and have another way to pay ready. If you smoothly pull out cash or a different card, it cuts the awkwardness in half. Honestly everyone's probably more focused on their own stuff anyway.

Tell your neighbor it's basically just guessing based on old weather reports. Plants grow how they grow, rain or shine.

Weather changes too fast for any guess to be perfect anyway. Save the fancy tech for something that actually matters.
