My current setup for digital gardening with [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md) is very lightweight by design, plugin bloat is real and detracts from the simplicity that allows me to just get things done.
## Plugins
- Harper - Great for spelling and grammar checks
- Quartz Syncer - Used to synchronize my vault contents to my [[Quartz]] repo
- BRAT - Used to install Quartz Syncer
- Dataview - I just cannot live without this
- Self-hosted LiveSync - For editing on multiple devices
