Garden Planner

[MustafaMc]

I have been using an online program http://www.plangarden.com/ to make detailed plans for my vegetable garden. The current status of my 2010 plans can be seen at: http://www.plangarden.com/app/index.php?userID=22468

salaam MC..

i checked out the second link, i like the way you are growing different strains of tomatoes :) and peppers too ;) and you have a great selection of fruit.. hope you keep us informed next season inshallah, we would love to see your garden grow ....

[MustafaMc]

I have been planning for next planting season and ordering new crops and new varieties of crops we have already grown. I have found that plangarden.com is a good tool for planning vegetable gardens.

preparing ahead huh :) good on ya !!

is that a cotton bud in your avatar huh !? i love the way cotton grows, absolutely amazing.

do you grow cotton or you just like it, like me !!?

[MustafaMc]

Yes, that is an open cotton boll. When mature, the boll opens to expose the seed cotton. The fiber grows out from the seed coat and is separated by ginning. I am a cotton breeder and have worked with the crop for 25 years. I love breeding cotton and am amazed that Allah would create such a plant that we can clothe ourselves with, alhamdulillah.

Its very complicated :shy:

Its very complicated :shy:Is it the PlanGarden site that is complicated? I am a big planner. I used to design my garden with a simple CAD program until I came across this site. I make my plans and then revise them about a dozen times before planting time comes. I love to try new varieties and to see what works best in my area.

[Tania]

Both but i find very useful to make it.

Saturday(9 april) i will go with 2 students to a school fair and i have to arrange a bench(around 80 cm*80 cm) with a mini garden. The students company "sell" plants and flower. I have a limited budget and i want the bench to look perfect.
Every idea will be appreciated:o

How about herbs? Sometimes you can pick these up quite cheaply (it is too late for 9th April to start off your own); and things like thyme, parsley, coriander, will look lovely in a small garden. If you are planning for next year, start your own herbs in pots now and keep them over winter. By this time net year they will be a good size and ready for planting out.

Good luck.
