Re: [GWL]: Mapping gardens

There is lots of garden planning software available at Best Buy, Circuit
City, etc. that allows you to import a photograph of your yard and/or house.
You then build a planting map on top of the photo.  Measurements are
usually needed, too, but you can guestimate if you don't want to measure.  I
tested a batch of garden planning software for a magazine about 18 months
ago, and I found that COMPLETE LAND DESIGNER v. 5.0 by Sierra was the best
of the lot.  It costs about $50.  The software allows you to import any
photo, stack multiple layers of plants in 3-D and much more.  As you do the
plan, a list of plants is automatically generated, too.
