Garden Log

Track care for individual plants using the Garden Log template. One entry per care action connects watering, pruning, or harvesting with a health rating and a photo.

Make it your own

On the web, sign in and choose New Dattle → Template. Web Dattles use Shared access; you can start with just yourself and invite people later. For a Private Dattle stored on your device, use the mobile app.

  1. Start from the template

    In New Dattle, choose Template and search for Garden Log, or browse Field collection. Open its preview, choose Use template, and review the name and fields before saving. The suggested name is Garden Log.

  2. Capture your first entry

    Use a consistent plant name, select the action you completed, and record your health rating. Add a light reading, photo, and a note about the plant’s appearance.

  3. Review and keep it useful

    Search the plant name to compare care entries. Read any Plant Diagnosis output alongside the photo and your observations, then verify it before choosing a treatment.
