A Great Garden Planning Tool

Sometimes the hardest part of planning a vegetable garden is figuring out where to plant each vegetable and how much you'll be able to fit in the space that you have without overcrowding.  For many years I used pencil and paper or just winged it , both of which actually worked out fine most of the time.

A few years ago I discovered a great tool especially if you like working on your computer.  Even though there are numerous garden planning programs available, I have been very happy with the Jung Seed Co. Vegetable Garden Planner (web based software) which can be found at:  http://gardenplanner.jungseed.com/

It is fairly simple to use and costs $25 per ear.  It is a great way to keep a record of your garden each year including the varieties you plant, where you plant them and even comments on each variety.  Video tutorials can be found on the web page to help you get started.  Below is an example of a garden plan.  The image quality will be much better in the actual program.



Stay tuned, much more to follow.  I welcome any comments, questions, or suggestions.
