Apps?

Does anybody use a phone app for keeping track of things like egg production, feed purchases, where and when things are planted? I looked on the Apple App Store and didn’t find anything about that I thought would work. I have paper templates printed for this, but I think a phone app would work better for me.

I've use Seedtime a bit for planting. It's nice because it has plant data preloaded. The base version is free but you have to pay for the mapping capability.

For the tracking other homestead data I have a very extensive spreadsheet.

Ok thanks, I will check it out. Might be worth paying for

Hello Bethany,
It may be old school, but for my garden, I use an excel spreadsheet. I change the settings to make the cells square, and then use it like graph paper.

Then for tracking feed and eggs, I have used a calendar I hung up and just write the number of eggs I collect each day. Then I can go back and count them later.

I got an app a few weeks ago called Gardenate. Tells you when to plant things and harvest each month etc. It was 1.99 I think. Seems worth it to me

Spreed sheets are the way to go...

I use Linux, and under linux I have found a light weight spreadsheet that I adore....

But this is for Linux if you happen to be using Linux.      There is open office if you don't.

This is perfect, wish it was a phone app but might try this. Thank you!
