Okay lovelies, I've never been good at gardening but I'm really trying to give it a go. I've already found a bunch of native plants that I like the sound of... but I'm worried about inevitably forgetting them.

Any good gardening apps out there?

You cannot go wrong with natives. Plant specific to your region, plant at the optimal time, don't fuss about the insects. They thrive in spite of neglect. Might look scraggly for a bit but then be prepared to delight in the lives they support and enrich ... the insects, the birds and yours.

Great! Now I'm cautiously optimistic

What sort of tasks are you looking for the app to help you with? The nice thing about native plants is they generally don’t need much care or maintenance, especially if you plant them during a rainy season. Forgetting them usually isn’t a problem!

Well that helps! Basically troubleshooting I guess. Remembering to water them, knowing what to do to keep bugs away

Native plants almost never need watering if you plant them the right time of year (usually fall, or winter for some seeds). And a lot of plants will attract beneficial insects that eat the pest insects, so a mix of flowers is good!

I like https://seedtime.us for veggie garden planning, and https://www.reddit.com/r/NativePlantGardening/ is a great resource for native plant gardening

Of course! Native gardening is fantastic - hope you enjoy it!
