Hi
Does anyone here use any of the gardening apps? I'm looking for something to record the plants I have, reminders of jobs to do, when to plant seeds, feed etc etc. 
If anyone has any recommendations/app to avoid, I'd love to hear about them. I'm very new to gardening and looking for any help I can. 
Many thanks

    I use a specialist gardening paper notebook ... I find it more convenient ... I can use it in the garden even if my hands are muddy ... and although I’m very IT literate (trust me I am, and I’m using my iPhone at the moment) I find keeping a paper record with the possibility of making quick little diagrams etc, much quicker and more accessible. 😊 

    I also find find a notebook a more satisfying object to hold and to use.

    Totally agree, prefer a paper book to an e book too. But an app would be convenient and something I can refer to and plan with while commuting/work breaks etc.
    I love pintrest (cost me and the hubby a fortune in failed projects and diy😁) but looking for something a bit more gardening specific.

    Commuting/work breaks and now other sorts of breaks (now I’ve retired whoop! whoop! 😆 ) are spent on this site either on my phone or laptop. 
    There’s loads on this site ... not just the forum
    ... loads of How to videos, to do lists, stuff like that. I don’t have the time to look at it all and I’ll bet I have more time than you 🤣
