We’ve got a new app out that would be real useful for vegetable gardeners! It’s called SmartSteader and is great for recording how much you’re growing (which is so FUN to see and then challenge yourself to grow more next year!) It’s also helpful for folks wanting to stick to a budget and see what they’re really spending to grow their own vegetables. There are production records, expense tracking, note-taking/journaling, and in the next version there will be income tracking for those who sell their excess produce. (We’re always adding new features!) We’ve been keeping paper-based homesteading and gardening records for years so the switch to digital has been a real game changer for us! (No more misplaced receipts or MATH!) SmartSteader is out on iOS & Android, instantly syncs between devices, even across platforms and has secure data storage so no more worrying about lost records. Hopefully others will find it to be as helpful as we have. Take care! Quinn
