| Even though it is summer I have thought of several things that are best done in the fall. Much more often than not I have my phone on my person so when a future gardening job comes to mind I quickly type it in as memo on my blackberry.
For example, earlier this spring I noticed that there were too few dafs on one side of the garden so I made an e-memo to plant some there this fall. Today I realized that it would free up some space if I shifted a few perennials a foot over. Of course I couldnt/shouldnt do it now but fall will be just fine...another BB memo etc. |

| My Iphone might be my best garden tool... Keep my data base of plants Look up all kinds of gardening info Take pictures of plants Use the level function when I build something Post in gardenweb Play lively music to drown out other noise and keep me dancing through the garden! Get calls/emails to sell my extra plants on craigslist Lose it in the garden? LOL, unlike other tools, it fits in my pocket. And I can always call it if I do lose it (unlike my favorite trowel). Garden to go zen on electronic stresses? No, garden to go zen on worrying, of which most is people based. |

| Just like mytime my phone is always in my pocket so no chance of losing it and always there when I need it. |

| Most of my "to do" thoughts occur to me as I am browsing forums late at night so I do keep a list of upcoming chores in my Dropbox. But no way do I take technology outside with me when I garden- I go out there to escape the damn things, not bond with them. My time gardening is too precious to carry a freaking phone- I found it a huge compromise to even wear a wristwatch, lol. |

| When I have my 'freaking phone' with my while I am gardening it
so excited.. you sent that 3 times No...just more evidence this forum's lack of even basic customizability (I know this isnt a real word). So obvious that one should be able to delete multiple identical posts.

| What's a wristwatch;) I only carry the phone to take pics. That's it |
