Gardening Software?
I'm looking for gardening software and can't find what I'm looking for. Has
anyone seen software that will: Prompt you for your zone, elevation, soil type and other geographic particulars. Then let you input the various plants you wish to track. Presumably, the plants would be from a pick list, as it would have an internal database of needs of each plant. The software will then remind you throughout the year, as to your tasks (pruning, fertilizing, planting, deadheading, etc...). If the reminder comes at an untimely time, you can hit a snooze bar for several days. As you complete tasks, you check them off and potentially provide data on how the plants are doing, so the software could adjust its parameters accordingly. Do I want too much? I've seen lots of gardening software that's just glorified journalling stuff, no inherent intelligence. Thanks in Advance for your knowledge... |

After reviewing the message paths from Mister Sensitive and Teech, they

Sorry Bobby Moose, I don't know Teech. I'm just a homeowner in Hillsborough
with some gardening interest. Believe it or not, I'm just looking for some software. I haven't looked at Teech's recommendation, so I don't know yet whether its what I'm looking for yet. Do my requirements ring a bell with anyone else? Thanks, -Todd Jones aka Mister Sensitive "Happy Moose" wrote in message om...

No todd - gardening is as much about what is going on as when it is going
on. I do not need a reminder popping up to tell me to mow the grass or plant the tomatoes. It is not too hard to figure out what plants are zone 7 plants etc. The problem with most of these planners is that they just have the name of the plant and some charecteristics, when you need pictures and much more information. tomatolord.

You'll be attacked for pointing out the spammers, just you wait. Why, I have no clue, but it happens over and over again. You've been warned! HA! |

Happy Moose and Empty Byers,
Thanks for poisoning an otherwise sincere request for information. I guess paranoia trumps a sincere request for help. -Todd Jones Look me up in the Hillsborough Phone Book if you think I have nothing better to do with my time than put tiny trolls for selling spyware.

I truly appreciate your dedication to gardening. I'm afraid I take (out of
necessity) a less involved role in managing my botanosphere, hence my interest in software that will guide my activities. If there's none out there, I will continue to muddle through.

Number 1...I (Teech) and not Mister Sensitive. Don't know what the
heck makes you think that. Number 2...the link I posted was simply a piece of software I found after doing a Google search prompted by Mister Sensitive's inquiry. I thought it would be a neat idea to have a piece of software that did what he was asking....so I went looking for one and found one and posted it. Number 3...I had no idea that it contained spyware. Jeez...sorry. |

Follow up for Mister Sensitive...
I did download and install the software I found (regardless of what little tidbits of info it might have sent back to the vendor)...and, in my opinion, it's not all that the description makes it out to be. I was kinda hoping it would do what it seemed to me to sound like it would. I'd be interested if anybody else on this list finds an application like you described. |
