There is an app for iOS/MacOS, at least, called Garden Tracker . . . unfortunately it's not been updated* for recent versions of the operating system and presumably correspondingly lacks support. I got a warning when I downloaded it that it could slow down my phone, but I haven't noticed any problems**.

It lets you plot out your garden as a grid of squares, record what you've planted in each one, access that history, record watering/fertilizing/harvest dates, record free-form notes per square, probably a lot of other stuff that I haven't explored. My main complaints are that the garden size I have is just barely too big to fit on my screen without scrolling, some of the icons are not super intuitive, and the list of plants available by default is somewhat limited and I haven't gone through and added all the ones we're growing that aren't available. I guess also that actually keeping track of all the things is more bookkeeping than I can conveniently fit into "while I'm planting seeds" or whatever, but that's more my problem than the app's.


*I just looked on the app store to confirm the name; the desktop version has been updated as of this week. Mobile was updated last December. Please ignore all crossed-out text

**note that I don't use my phone for anything particularly intense, so if there are issues I might just not have noticed.
