Garden software

[Star1pup]

I once saw some computer software that you could use to plan your garden, but have not seen it recently.  Anyone know of any?

I've bought several supposed Garden Software programs and so far none have been worth the cost of postage much less the cost of the program plus postage. If you ever find a good one I'd like to hear of it but I'm beginning to wonder if there is a decent one.

A few years ago I was in a Staples Store and as I looked in the Software dept. I noticed they had a 2-disc gardening program on sale.  One disc was a gardening encyclopedia and the other one is a Ortho Home Gardeners Problem Solver for Pest's and Diseases.  The name of the software is "Land Designer's Garden Encyclopedia", produced by Sierra.

Since then I have seen what looks like good gardening programs from Better Homes and Gardens, www.bhg.com , but I haven't seen them lately.  BHG has a website that has many different catagories for in and around the house.   I just checked the "Gardening" pages, and it looks like it could be some help.

I am positive that BHG still produces Gardening Programs, but at this time of year I wouldn't know where to find them.  If you find one somewhere, I hear it is one of the best.  Ortho probably puts out some programs also.   Alot of free information is available on the bhg website.

I was hoping to find something that would let me draw my garden on the computer.  I had something about 3 computers ago, but it is long gone now.
