Using digital tools to track the garden or set reminders makes total sense but gardening seems to call out for writing notes in a journal, slow and reflective. (Have I done it? No!)
I moved to a new house and am building up my garden beds so am taking a lot of before and after photos. Also created a spreadsheet listing specific tasks, when to do them, and when they have been started/completed.
I once heard of someone who kept a spreadsheet to track when the flowers in his garden would bloom and the colors. The goal was to have continuous color.
This is Carol... I actually found a spreadsheet I put together in 2003 listing all the plants in my garden. Oh my! I don't think I could do that today but do agree with you that writing notes in a journal, slow and reflect, is a good thing to do, if you can do it.
I do grow Walking Egyptian Onions. My husband's mother had them all over her small garden and she shared some with me many years ago. I brought some up with me from Kentucky. They are fun but do walk as the bulbs drop from the top. We will see if next year they have made it here in Gnaw Bone or walked right out of the garden. Basil Becky
