Gardening Tool Kit

Gardening Tool Kit

Gardening ToolKit hopes to do so much more than what even your favorite gardening book can do. It gives location-based planting advice, allows you to keep track of multiple gardens, tracks flower blooming, vegetable harvesting, and comes with a 1000-plant database, as well as a gardening glossary. The one bummer, which is actually good news for international readers — it’s not available in the US. Otherwise, it’s available for iOS.
