gardening softwares

linux compatible

There are tons of infos to keep while doing a vegetables garden,
weather, seeds lists, plants lists, garden maps, journal, photos, calendar, tasks...
I'd find really useful having some software tools.

I found on the net some options, I tried quite a few... So those days I'm using some map tools + sowing/planting planning calendar tools. I also made myself some vegs temp tool !

so here is a list of softwares I found, each could be useful while doing a vegetables garden.

most those are webapps. any can be used with linux.
