Looking to grow a garden this Spring? Check out these gardening apps to help you plant and grow a garden!
Last year when we moved into our home, in our backyard sat a small garden that was growing a tomato plant and pepper plant. I had tried gardening in the past, with no luck. Maybe buying a home with a garden would be the answer?
Best Gardening Apps for Garden Planning
My excitement lasted about a month. Between the kids and the dog, our small garden was destroyed. We now have the outline of a garden, with dirt and a few weeds — the plants, are gone for now…

This year, I am determined to make that garden grow. I’ve rounded up several gardening apps that can hopefully help a brown thumb turn green. If you are looking into garden planning or landscape design, these gardening apps will be your new BFF.
