When I can't see what I need to see, I use my digital camera or the camera on my phone to get a better look.

If there is growth way up high or some other place where these old eyes can't see clearly, I simply take a digital photo of it and enlarge it, and it's as if someone put a microscope in front of me and my plant! Viewing it on my laptop screen further helps me get excited about what's to come.
