Top 3 Best Garden Planner Apps

Whether you enjoy growing flowers, herbs, fruit, vegetables, or all of the above, seed starting is an important skill to master. Growing plants from seed won’t save you money the first season. After all, you’ll need trays, lights, and even shelves if you’re starting more than a few flats. But in subsequent seasons, you’ll reap the financial rewards, germinating dozens of starts for the cost of a single seedling from a greenhouse. Growing seedlings at home also allows you to fill your garden with plant varieties not generally found on the market. You’ll have literally thousands of options readily available from seed catalogs.

It allows you to make payments to stores when there in person, via websites, or even through apps. Unfortunately, not all stores, sites, and apps accept Apple Pay. Among the places that accept Apple Pay, however, there are some that previously did not accept Apple Pay, and have eventually started to allow the use of the payment system in their stores and on their sites. One of these stores is CVS, at least in part.

Live Listen is a clever feature that essentially turns your iPhone (or iPad/iPad touch) into a microphone and then amplifies the sounds it picks up through your Airpods.
