Plan and Design Your Garden

PLAN AND DESIGN your garden, comes with the book Garden Planning and Design - a standard gardening tome with hints on planning and a short section dealing with plants and flowers.

The program content is minimal; 'design' allows you to deposit shapes for vegetables, flowers, buildings and paths on the screen by means of a cursor, while 'diary' is a monthly gardeners' diary and very basic.

Curious anomalies occur, entering 'October' and 'rose' gives you the instruction that roses can be planted next month. Entering 'November' and 'roses' brings up the reply, 'no information found'. Hard luck if you didn't catch the October entry.

There is nothing here that cannot be found in any reasonable gardening book. The whole package is outrageously overpriced.
