Herbs too, perhaps? I did rename my garden, thanks to your tip. Lovely, now I have a Spring and a Summer Garden! Hi Plangarden,

I did rename my garden, thanks to your tip. Lovely, now I have a Spring and a Summer Garden!

That is coming very soon with a ton of new icons. BTW. If you go to "Options -> Preferences" you can change your garden name. Thanks!!!

I can see the value in using it, because I am costantly changing my garden around that I wouldn't want to keep updating a drawing. Yes, I've been following your blog and I've read how you bought so many seeds :-) ... I did the same this year ... way more than I probably have room for ... but, I love variety. My wife said I am cut off for this year ... the cool thing about having a large variety of seeds is that they'll last for a few years. I'm following several gardening blogs and I am learning a lot. This will be my second year gardening. I'm really loving it. Chris That’s cool.

I like Plangarden but I understand your frustrations. It is a bit clunky and limited (not enough vegetable choices, and herbs are all "herb") and some features need more tweaking (being able to rename garden plans, for instance). Still, it's the better one of the ones I tried, and what it can't do I make up with colors and excel sheets, etc. To be honest I don't even use half of the features it offers yet. I just sowed the first seeds in my basement. Lovely! Katrien Hi Chris,
Thank you!

I tried it, but, it seemed a little incomplete and was a bit tedious to use. I'm curious what your experience has been. BTW I've been following your blog and you have a lot of nice posts. From the design it looks like you have a pretty big garden. Happy gardening, Chris How do you like plangarden? I tried it, but, it seemed a little incomplete and was a bit tedious to use.

I'd hate having to erase all the time. Before I found this program I wasn't as organized either! Hi Leigh,

I'm working this ours out on graph paper too, so maybe I need to color code mine too! I confess I'm not as organized as you though. Hopefully I'll get it together once my seeds arrive!
