Helpful Apps for your Garden

As spring approaches, I am always excited and curious to see what is coming up in my garden.  I had tried to get into the habit of "tagging" each plant as I planted them, but with time they tend to disappear.  I have also started taking pictures with my iphone - now to keep them organized!! 

Here are a few apps that will hopefully help us all in our gardening plans this spring.  Now if  I could only find an app for a "green thumb".  Enjoy!!
