Speak a line at the bed. Keep the whole story for years.
Out at the bed with muddy hands, speak a note instead of scribbling one on a stake that'll smudge by June. Every visit adds to a dated history of that plant — so next spring you remember exactly what you sowed, fed and pruned.

What you capture
- A spoken note at the bed — what you sowed, fed or noticed, hands still muddy
- Photos through the seasons: first shoots, full bloom, this year's crop
- The date and the spot in the plot, captured for you — every sowing, potting-on and feed
Tap the tag and the plant's whole journal opens on your phone — every photo, voice note and date, in the order the seasons happened, with nothing to install to read it.
Hand-written garden plant labels fade in a single season: the marker pen bleaches in the sun, the plastic stake snaps in a frost, and by spring the border is a row of mysteries. Even weatherproof plant labels rub off in the end, and the variety becomes a guess. Here the plant tag carries none of that — it simply points to everything you saved, so a weathered tag on a pot, stake or border still works.
What you get instead is a garden journal that builds itself. Out at the veg patch you tap the tag and speak — what you sowed, the feed you gave the tomatoes, the morning the apple blossom opened — and each note lands on a dated timeline for that plant. Season after season it grows into a living plant care tracker and honest garden record keeping: when you sowed, what cropped well, which variety shrugged off the blight. It can nudge you, too: set a reminder on a plant and your phone prompts you at the right moment — water the new transplants, feed the tomatoes each week, or go and check whether they're tall enough to pinch out the top and take the side shoots off. And if a tag ever goes missing, you move the whole record onto a new one without losing a word.

Questions
- Can I add a note without taking my gloves off?
- That's rather the point. Tap your phone to the tag and speak — the voice note is saved straight to that plant's timeline, hands-free, while you're still stood at the bed.
- Does the record build up over the seasons?
- Yes — every entry is dated and kept, so a plant's tag grows into a season-by-season journal: what you sowed, how it fared, when it cropped, year after year.
- What if a tag fades or goes missing over winter?
- Your words and photos live in the app, not on the tag, so a weathered or faded label still works. And if one cracks or vanishes, put a fresh weatherproof tag on the stake, link it to the same plant, and the whole timeline carries over without losing a word.
