me what features would be useful to you I will incorporate them.

First, no round 5 gal buckets.  It only encourages 'them.'
Second, I have been very interested in Access.
Which do you propose to use?  I may be interested in assisting.

Best feature, is ability to add on a feature thru' a link portal.
(I'll check the term... i.e. "Add-On" box, like Fill in the blanks, indicate
links, then clikck on "Add Feature."

I feel Access MAY be the easiets NEARLY full-featurted, user friendly
database.  So easy to drag a link, too.

1)  I would want min 10 year tracking of plant/area relationship.)
(Incl what varietal was in that spot.)
2)  Killer feature would be a subset database to input plant characteristics,
as we saw them.  Height, width (planting row distance)  Dist btwn plants (may
not apply to sq ft)<chuckle>
3)  Plant characteristics per soil, water, type, fert req'd, season,
germ rate, date planted, temps desired, sun shade.
4)  Plant yield per each. or per sq ft.. if preferred.
5)  I input rain and sun to my database.  Presently I mis-use Excel.

I've found no retail programs of any worth.
Cutsey, that's all.  One does this, the other, that.

I enjoy somewhat being able to enter the inner sactum, still,
to see a square on Excel drawn in which represent an area of
the yard, upon which I can click, is nice.  I've 'drawn' the
entire yard and house with the most RUDIMENTARY Excel skills...

It caused me to reinvent the system, before I knew it existed,
per se.  It was a 5x5 system.
