Might I suggest a pencil and notebook for your garden record keeping?
You
can carry it around with you. Windows won't cause it to crash and you
will
be much healthier if you get up from the computer and go out where the
garden is.

Oddly enough, I am aware of the uses of pencil and paper.

I prefer the increased functionality of a software program
which is why I asked (specifically) about a program...

[I know it's not cool to announce that you're plonking
someone but very, very occasionally I just cannot resist...]

Into my twit-file you go... I imagine you'll enjoy the
company of others there with a similar bent of mind.

If I had realized what a nice person you are I wouldn't have bothered
replying in the first place.
But, since we are here, would someone please explain why a computer is more
functional than a pencil and notebook.
Is a computer more dependable?
A notebook is much easier to loose than a computer. The dog is not
apt to chew up or bury the computer.

Is a computer more accurate?
GIGO for either one.

Is a computer less expensive?
If you already won a computer and have to buy a notebook and pencil.

Is a computer doing any actual gardening?
Have you got a notebook that weeds the garden? Would love to have one
of those.

Is a notebook likely to crash and destroy all your records?
See answer to the first question. BTW, never heard of backup.

I think perhaps the effort to meld two entirely different hobbies might
prove counterproductive.
