This program is really fun and makes gardening even funner. You can plan out and see it all before you do it. I have a large odd shaped fenced in area about 81′ wide by 20′ on one end and 61 on the other end. We have tried gardening in there a couple times in different ways but were never happy with it. Last year we made three square foot gardening boxes that were only 3′ by 12′ but ended up losing everything to insects. Squash bugs to be exact. They attacked everything from our cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers everything but the strawberries. We didn’t even get to the garden this year because we were going to try something different in a larger pen but the tiller didn’t start and our pick up wasn’t at home to take it to the shop so we just decided it wasn’t going to happen this year. I was really bummed out about it until the record breaking heat we have been having this year in OK because I would’ve had to keep the sprinkler and all the hoses ran across the driveway to the front of our property to keep it alive. NEW PLAN. We are going back to Square Foot Gardening next year and this program has helped me so much in preparing for that. I can sit down drawn out the shape of the garden and where things are located and fill it in with garden boxes and ponds and plants and then move them change them or what ever I’d like until I am happy. There is so much information on this planner. When you see all the plant choices there is a little “i”on them that you can click to get all sorts of information about the plants when to plant, how to plant, what you can plant with it and so on. If you buy the annual subscription you receive so much more based on your location such as:
=========================================================================
- Growing information: Just click for full details of how to grow each plant, where to position them, etc.
- Number of Plants: Clearly shown by the number at the top of each plant square
- Personalized Planting Chart: You get a chart showing when each plant will be planted and harvested. Our advanced system works out the dates for your own area.
- Reminder Emails: You can have emails sent reminding you what needs planting in your garden (optional)
- Easy Crop Rotation: The Garden Planner remembers each year’s crops and advises where to place them next year
- Succession Planting: See which crops will follow others and view your plan for each month of the year
- Add Notes: Like a garden journal you can add notes on how each plant did
- Intuitive Use: Works just like software you are familiar with, including features such as copy and paste
- Tutorial Videos: Quick built-in videos show you just what you need to know to get the most out of the software
Now if you want to enter for your chance at ONE of TWO FREE 30 day trials this is where you do it. I now know what I am doing next year and what I am planting and where I am planting it! Hooray for GroOrganic! Open to US residents only and Ends on 8/15

I learned that they offer free garden parties. Too bad they don't have any in my area.
