It's been a year since I first had a look at Gardening Toolkit, the iPhone app that allows you to track the growth and progress of your garden. After a lengthy wait and ready for the summer season, New Zealand studio Applied Objects has released an iPad version for your inner geeky gardener.
For those of you new to the app, Gardening Toolkit HD [iTunes Link] combines a range of solutions to make gardening more pleasant, and why not, more organised. Divided in four main areas, you can easily remember what’s planted where, set up reminders for activities, find ideas to make the most out of your space and even share your creations with others.
Before you start using the Gardening Toolkit HD, you'll need to set up your region with the correct climate and hardiness--this ensures that all the recommendations make sense for the conditions in your area.
The starting point for most of the sessions is its huge plant database that you can browse and filter to your convenience. Something like gardening data mining to give you the idea.
A normal scenario for me would be checking which herbs grow at this time of the year that won't be spoiled after August. Having this information with me might be very useful for the next visit to the local gardening shop, where I used to spend way too long reading about every seed they sell!
