I would like to know whether anyone knows about a computer program that could help me with my gardening. I'm interested in all kinds of computer programs either for indoor or outdoor running on any personal computer. Does anyone have experience in using a computer to plan her/his gardening and diagnose deseases of the plants? Can a computer program be as good as a book? Is thee a need for such a program? I appreciate any response and discussion on this question. Thanks, Parvis. -- parvis@gitpyr.gatech.edu

I remember reading about a gardening program in "The 60 Minute Garden" or something like that. I don't have the book, so I'm not sure about the author, but I think it is Jeff Ball. I've seen it at Crown Books and the library, so I assume it's readily available. Anyway, the author was the one who wrote the program, and he was extolling its virtues. I haven't tried it. I think it was mostly for vegies, not general landscaping. Hope this helps. -- @@ /\ Leslie Holzmann @ @ \/ {hplabs!hpdsd,pyramid}!octopus!leslie @@\____\______/ Phone 408/996-7746
