I have 'inherited' a huge garden, and am trying to identify all the plants as they appear, such as this (foreground), very pretty ground cover plant. Its usually more open, but it is raining!
Hello Debs 👋 Thank you for posting what we hope will be the first of many photos. 👏
You can find other like-minded gardeners by tapping on Discover and then "Popular" or "Recommended". There you will see other great photos of plants and gardens and you can of course “follow” anyone that you see there should you like to do so!
Should you ever need to reply to a message in your feed or just want to say 'hello', simply @username an individual i.e. @teamgardentags and that person will get an alert in their profile. Really hope this is helpful and you enjoy using GT! 😃
Thanks also for asking us to help identify your plant #PlantID. Fellow GT'ers are you able to help Debs? @PlantDoctor @David @barbaramatthews @justin @richard.spicer.7906 @thedanielrichards @Garyg @linfoster @joanboston @gardening_greek @tiggrx @kathy
Thanks for the welcome and the advice on getting the best out of the app. I am sure I'll be using it a lot :)
Thanks @teamgardentags 😊 could you tell me how I can set up/use the task list feature please?
You can't add to the task list. As you add plants, if they're in the plant encyclopedia and have tasks associated with them then those talks will appear in your task list.
@brightcolours I have a lot to learn 😊
You'll soon get the hang of things!!
A better picture - would love to know what this prolific ground cover plant is, happily growing alongside periwinkle.

@chrisf Ohhhh is that what I am meant to do?
I always forget the hashtags too @DebsC
Think your plant might be a comfrey - have a look under 'discover' then search 'plants' for comfrey and see if yours looks like any of those.
Wow! Clever you! There is one just like it down the page! Oddly, i was only using Comfrey (aka knit bone due to its healing properties) on an inury yesterday! So excited to have it in my garden! Thanks #chrisf 😊
I meant @chrisf duh!
There are different sorts of comfrey. And I don't think this one is #KnitBone 😕

@brightcolours 😞 I am disappointed, I was eyeing it up to make balm!
