I wanted to leave some comments on a software program to manage garden planning but couldn’t, for some reason.
I’d like to try something like this, but I’m not sure if this is the right app. Couple of observations:
- It’s really slow (I have an old machine, true, but I suspect GS is not asking as much as the nth tab in Safari or a QT movie and those work OK). Even text entry is slow. And those fonts . . . . yuck. I feel like I’m back in OS 9/Classic mode.
- I had trouble getting the app to work with even the simple tutorial. I found I had to enable internet access before the selection menus would work
- I would like to organize/manage a garden with 3 raised beds (4′ x 10′) but I don’t see how I do that. What kind of garden has height as a measurement?
- It might be worth talking to one or more of the big seed companies (Territorial or Burpee) and get an SKU listing that you can convert to XML. Or maybe one exists thru USDA?
I would like to make this work, and if I was a coder, I would take a look at fixing some stuff. But alas, that is not an area where my many gifts are apparent š
Good luck and let me know how it goes.
