I'm looking for a cross between a database program and a project planning
program. I want a database of all my veggies that would include date seed
planted, number of days to transplant, days to maturity after transplant, yield
per plant and per square foot, etc. etc.

I want the program to take that info and allow me to enter the date I want to
drop a transplant in the ground and have it tell me the date I have to plant the
seed. On the other end I want it to tell me when I will have produce and if it's
let's say a radish, when the square foot will need a new transplant of something
else.

I also want it to visually layout the garden but this is secondary. It could use
a row and column spreadsheet type representation of my garden.

I have 4 4X28 ft beds plus 8 4x4ft squares and all are covered with cold frames
and hoop houses when necessary so my season goes longer than normal - actually,
all year long here in eastern pa zone 6a.

I will go $149.95 for this software if it does what I want. It would easily pay
for itself in 1 year with the increase in yield I should be able to achieve by
not leaving a square foot empty.

My next move is a market garden of about 4 acres and here it would be absolutely
necessary to keep me from going crazy. Although it's great fun sitting around
planning it while it's a freezing rain nightmare outside!

Good Luck, Good Growing!!
