Is there a good computer program to help pick plants and keep track of them?
There are several software programs, many available at your local bookstore or computer software store, to help pick and design flower gardens. As for keeping track of your plants, this is easily done on databases that come with most computer packages or bundles. One that came with my laptop– Microsoft Works– is the one I use, just setting up fields as I need them for scientific name, common name, year in, year died, bed, etc. You can then pick by a certain trait, such as by bed, and organize such as by common name. Others that are more sophisticated but common include, but are not limited to, Access and dbase.
