Gardening with your iPhone

garden apps for iPhones

The bloggers over at Clean Air Gardening, who write a lot about garden gadgets,  have posted a list of their Top 10 gardening apps for the iPhone or iPod Touch.

Most of the apps help you identify plants, of course, and pests. And give you growing instructions.

But there is also an apps for your garden to-do list, which includes a way to take pictures of your garden and assign them to tasks.

About Susan Reimer
Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
