I made this app as a simple way to monitor my garden. I wanted to not only be able to take notes and log images, but be able to look back on previous months and years at specific plant care events. For example, I made an entry of when I sowed my cucumber seeds (which was perfect timing), and will be looking back at that entry next year to try and replicate it. Gardening is an ongoing learning process and GrowNotes is designed to make that process easier.
