Set a note for a specific instance of a plant on your plan (useful for Succession Planting) using an iPhone or Android phone

Updated over 5 months ago

If you have more than one instance of a variety on your plan and want to add unique notes to each separate planting, you'll need to create a new variety for each instance of that plant (or row/block of plants) so they're listed individually on your Plant List.

Double-tap on the plant in your plan (or tap once on the plant to highlight it then tap on the Edit button in your plan's toolbar) to open the Edit Plant box.
