Do you have bugs you can’t identify in the garden that are eating your favourite plants? Not too sure what to plant this time of year? Confused about the best layout for your vegetable garden? Don’t worry, there’s an app for that!

Yates My Garden

Cost: Free

OS: iOS and Android

This app suits those new to gardening and the seasoned pro. Features include detailed information and images of over 1000 plant species, a garden problem solver that searches a database of pests, diseases and weeds plus a seed finder tool that helps work out what or when to plant. There’s also the option to ask an expert a question about your plant by taking a photo and sending it in. The expert will reply with an answer and publish the response so that fellow gardeners can also benefit from your query.

The Garden Planner

Cost: $4.49

There are also a number of apps that help identify plants, however most of these apps have been developed for the overseas market and don’t feature Australian natives. Nevertheless, they are still worth taking a look at as most have a growing database of plants. These popular apps include Garden Answers, PlantSnapp and Leafsnap.
