My grandmother's plant book still beats my phone app for tricky species
I used a new plant app last week, but it got a fern in my yard wrong. Her old book from the 70s had the right name right away. Some things don't improve with new tech.

My local library's 2022 plant guide actually fixed a lot of old book mistakes. Apps get new info all the time, so they can catch up fast. It's not always about old versus new, both can help if used right!

That fern in your yard story (classic app fail) happened to my friend with a rose bush. Her app said it was one type, but her grandpa's book from the 70s corrected it. Old books have a kind of built-in wisdom, you know?
