Garden Tracker in Obsidian.md

Between the different types of plants, planting dates, watering schedules, and pest control measures, it's easy to lose track of what needs to be done when. That's where a garden tracker comes in handy.

Plants Page

Firstly, we need to create a new note in Obsidian. We'll call it Plants.md. This note will be the main hub for all of our garden tracking information. We'll use the Dataview to create a table of all the plants we're growing, and I used it with Minimal Theme.

.txt
---
cssclass: cards, cards-cover, cards-1-1

```dataview
TABLE WITHOUT ID image,
file.link,
":luc_droplet: " + water,
":luc_droplets: " + date(reverse(sort(file.inlinks))[0]) + " (" + (date(today) - date(reverse(sort(file.inlinks))[0])) + ")"  /
AS "Last watered",
":luc_sun: " + sun,
":fas_spray_can_sparkles: " + fertilizer,
":fas_spray_can: " + last_fertilized,
":fas_seedling: " + (date(today) - date(sprouted) ) + " (" + sprouted + ")",
":luc_flask_conical:" + pH,
":luc_moon: " + harvest

FROM [[Plants]] and #apartment
```

Plant Template

Then, we need to create a new note called "New_Plant.md". This note will be a template for all of our plants.

.txt


category:: [[Plants]] #apartment
image:: ![img](https://placehold.it/100x100)

water::
sun::
fertilizer::
last_fertilized::
sprouted::
pH::
harvest::

New Plant Button

To automatically create a new plant, we will need to use to create a plant template:

.txt
name New Plant
type note(New Plant) template
action NewPlant

Daily Note
