- Program Title: GARDENER'S ASSISTANT
- PC-SIG version 1
-
- This handy program for planning a garden presents an attractive initial
- title screen with handsome graphics followed by a main menu after pressing
- any key. The choices are: describe where you live and your garden
- dimensions, choose what vegetables you want, display how to lay out your
- garden, choose when to plant/harvest, add to/modify vegetable chart, and
- quit. You can press the number of your choice, "?" for an explanation, or
- "!" to go back to the prior menu.
-
- The first choice offers a screen with a menu requesting the following
- information: request: desired garden name, length, width, orientation, and
- the region of the country the garden is located in. Under the second choice
- of the main menu, choose vegetables, another menu is offered with three
- choices: choose vegetable, print chosen vegetables, and return to main
- menu. Another screen appears with the indication of the approximate
- percentage of garden left with a negative number displayed if more space
- has been used than you have allocated. Then there are seven columns: the
- name of the vegetable, the suggested row feet per person, choose number of
- people to feed, feed the family (y or n -- size you have indicated), number
- of row/feet to plant, number of units to plant, and the units in which the
- vegetable is normally measured -- crowns, pounds, packets, ounces, etc.
- This works as follows: the first vegetable for example is asparagus. If the
- number of people entered is four, the screen indicates that you need 80/row
- feet planted, for four people, 80 plants need to be planted, and so on for
- the rest of the vegetables. The third choice from the main menu displays
- how to lay out your garden according to the information on the vegetables
- you want to plant. Selection number four presents a screen that asks you
- whether you are planting in spring or fall. Depending on your response, you
- are given window dates when to plant and expect to harvest your vegetables.
-
- This program is easy to use and can be a valuable tool for planning and
- managing your garden.
