I had meant to get this post up yesterday, but then some alien entered my body and I've been trying desperately to expel it. First, I started coughing, then a fever, and now a runny nose. Oh, the joys of spring colds - NOT.
Anyway...yesterday morning I began using a really cool online garden planning tool. Perhaps you already know all about it, but it was new to me. And I love it!
It's called SmartGardener and most of the features are absolutely free! You can find it at this link. And you can see my garden plan at this link.
I went ahead and ordered a few of the add-ons, but my cost was still under $10. I did try the print feature and didn't care for it so we'll still probably draw out a version of our garden on graph paper like we always did before. What I really like about the tool is that it will help me compile a gardening to-do list to keep me on track AND (the big attraction) will help remind me about successive plantings. I'm horribly bad about forgetting to re-plant and as a result we waste a great deal of garden space by only using it for that first spring/early summer crop. Our growing season here in SouthEastern Wisconsin is long enough that I could get two crops in but rarely remember to do so.
(I was not compensated by anyone to write this and the folks at SmartGardener probably don't even know I blog since I just signed up with them yesterday)
ETA - the grey rectangles on the plan are our house and garage. The longer narrower one is the garage and the other is our house.
