Garden Planner has a variety of features that can make gardening easy for you. One of its best features is the location feature, which puts your vegetable garden on the map. This allows you to see what the beginning and ending frost dates are for your geographical area. This useful feature can actually allow you to get a head start on the planting season. This can be as simple as starting your tomatoes indoors, which Garden Planner can help you do. Along with frost dates, another practical aspect of this vegetable garden software is its ability to tell you the perfect time to harvest your crops. Every couple of weeks, the software will send you an email telling you what you need to do next with your vegetables and when to start harvesting them. It also tells you how to harvest each bit of produce since each plant is different.
Vegetable garden planner
Vegetable Garden Planner has a simple style, which makes it easy to use, even if it feels a bit outdated. Setting up your garden from the start is very easy because this program allows you to use different shapes to create your garden bed. The graph-based setup can help you space out each garden bed and keep spacing consistency with other beds, as well. When you start creating your layout, all you have to do is select what shape you want to use and drag the mouse. If there is a path or walkway you are accounting for, vegetable garden planner will let you put little bends in your beds, and then you can insert other shapes to create any walkways or paths that might run through your garden.

The superfluous amount of tools that GrowVeg.com offers begins with the basic set up of your garden. Starting with the basic layout of your garden, this vegetable garden software gives you many different options with your design. Their fundamental drag-and-drop system will let you change the shape of your garden and arrange it so that plants of the same family sit in the same soil. The vegetable garden planner comes with pictures of vegetables, so you can easily pick which ones you want to place in the garden and envision what they might look like. The application only comes with the common kinds of vegetables and fruit, and does give you the option of customizing the names. If you select the fruit or vegetable closest to the one you want to you use, you can double click it and change the variety and name. Another fantastic feature we love about this vegetable garden software is that setting up a traditional garden is not the only option you have. For some, space can be an issue – especially if you live in a big city, where gardening space is always a problem. This vegetable garden planner software has an option that lets you design a square foot garden (SFG) that can be used in any scenario, space or no space. The SFG tool is a great way to begin creating easy-to-manage gardens that are on raised beds. These gardens typically require a minimum amount of time to maintain.

Plangarden
This vegetable garden software offers you a host of features that you would be hard pressed to find with any other application. The most unique thing we found Plangarden is that it will allow you to create your own names for anything you have planted in your garden. This can be helpful if you have always used the term spring onions to mean scallions, for instance. Because you have the option to label your plants in any way you would like to, you will never be confused about which plants you are working with. However, the application also allows you to use its predefined labels. Another unique feature of this vegetable garden planner is that it will allow you to upload your own images to use in your virtual garden. In the application, the icon used for Brussels sprouts is not as clear as we’d like to have seen; however, by taking your own photograph and uploading the image, you will have a crystal-clear picture of your Brussels sprouts. This will also add another element of creativity to your garden that you can use to attract friends to check out your garden plans. This vegetable garden planner uses a drag-and-drop interface that allows you to easily select and move items into their proper locations. This will save you a lot of time over having to redraw your garden plans using graph paper and a pencil. It will also enable you to make better decisions when trying to decide which plants would make your garden stand out as visually appealing. After you have spent the time to create a plan for your garden, you will want to print a hard copy to take outside with you. This vegetable garden application allows you to print all of your information, such as a copy of your layout, daily logs and harvest information. This also allows you to have a hard copy that you can make notes on when you are outside and not close to your computer.
