OF has provisions for two different types of repeating actions.

The first is like your garbage example -- if the garbage goes out Friday, you want to be reminded on Thursday evening. If you forget, you don't want to see the reminder on Saturday.

This action gets its repeat set to "Assigned Date", and you start the repeats by selecting a calendar date. As you noticed, when you miss one of these, they stack up, and you get several copies.

The second is your watering example -- you want to water again 2 weeks from whenever you did it last. Dates aren't important, if you are 13 days late, you still want to water 2 weeks from when you last did it.

For this, you use "Completed Date". Un-done actions won't stack up, since the next one isn't created until you mark the current one Competed. You still need a Start date to set the first repeat.

I hope this helps clarify things ... it's a neat system once you get the hang of it.
