Walk your garden, speak what you see, and let MyPlot record it. Walk Session turns your voice into structured garden entries — no typing, no unlocking your phone between plants.
Walk Session listens as you walk through your garden and speak naturally. You might say "planted a fig tree" or "noticed aphids on the tomatoes". When you're done walking, AI classifies each thing you said into the right action type, you review and confirm, and everything is saved in one go.
Step 1 — Choose your garden
- Open Walk Session from the sidebar.
- Select the garden you're about to walk from the dropdown.
- Tap the green mic button to start listening.
Step 2 — Speak as you walk
Speak one thing at a time, naturally. Each recognised sentence appears as a card. You can:
- Edit a card by tapping into the text field
- Remove a card using the × button
- Pause/resume by tapping the Stop / Resume button at the top
- Keep walking and speaking — cards stack up as you go
Step 3 — Review AI classifications
AI analyses your entries and suggests an action type for each one. Review them before saving:
- If the type is wrong, change it using the dropdown on that card
- Once you change a type, all subsequent cards default to the same type — handy if you're doing a planting run
- Remove any entry you don't want saved by tapping ×
- Edit the text of any card by tapping into it
Step 4 — Saved
Each entry is saved as one of these types. AI picks the best match — you can override in the review step.
| Type | What it saves | Example phrase |
|---|---|---|
| Planted | Creates a new planting record matched to the plant database. Appears on the garden detail page and reminders. | "planted two cherry trees along the fence" |
| Watered | Logs a watering activity against the garden. | "watered the whole veggie bed" |
| Harvested | Logs a harvest event. Add weight or count in the text for best results. | "harvested a big bag of zucchini" |
| Pruned | Logs a prune event against the garden or specific plant. | "pruned the apple tree, opened up the canopy" |
| Fertilised | Logs a feeding event. | "applied Osmocote to the citrus" |
| Observed / Noted | Logs a free-text observation or note. Good for pest sightings, weather, anything else. | "scale insects on the olive again" / "soil looks dry near the roses" |
| Inspected | Logs a pest or health inspection. | "checked under the brassica leaves for caterpillars" |
| Mulched / Sprayed / Removed | Logs the specific maintenance action. | "mulched the whole fruit tree area" / "removed the dead cucumber plant" |
Planted entries are special — they don't just log an activity, they create an actual planting record in your garden. MyPlot looks up the plant name against the Plant Library and links it to the right profile.
After saving, your new planting appears on the garden detail page and is immediately available for reminders, AI summaries, and the briefing.
✓ Works well
- One thing per sentence — "pruned the apple tree" then pause
- Mention the plant name — "watered the tomatoes" not "watered it"
- Be specific — "harvested 2kg of lemons" gives better history
- Use natural language — AI understands "a bit leggy" and "covered in bugs"
- Keep walking — you can add 20+ entries in a single session
✗ Watch out for
- Background noise — wind and garden tools can mis-transcribe
- Rushing multiple things together in one sentence
- Very long run-on sentences — break them up
- Speaking too quietly — hold phone closer in windy conditions
