I've found four veg. garden programs, ranging from
$10 - $50. At that rate, I could afford to evaluate all of them to see if
they can be adapted to intensive gardening in Centex. However, I
think I'll wait a bit to see if I get any more feedback from some other
forums.
The information is all readily available. The
problem is juggling all of the factors against each other and time;
something I don't think you can adequately do in a non-interactive medium.
I've spent a lot of time with (expensive!) project management software, and
even they lacked the spatial planning features required for an
intensive garden plan.

Probably not the answer you are looking for, but it sounds like you have
the makings of a good book .... it sure seems no one else has done the
work for this part of the country....
That's a start - I'll check it out, but there
is no way a 2-dimensional chart can deal adequately with the timing factors
of starting plants, succession and interplanting, not to mention the
shade/sun, height, root structures, rotations, etc. My annual veg.
garden is intentionally very small, and will stay that way (3 beds, 4' x
15'), so I want to implement most of these
techniques.

Hey
Mitch,
Being
from Yankeeland I endured the same quandary. The Natural Gardener
sells a nice big plastic laminated chart with all the info compiled.
Those experienced Central Texas gardeners I asked said it is a very good
tool. It's laid out like a bar graph. They also have a "things
to do" in the garden list on their web site for those truly disoriented
moments. You're gonna love it.

Time grows short for garden planning, and
it's clear I have too much to learn, given the time. I've been
studying Rodale's Getting the Most from Your Garden, and wondering if anyone has developed succession
charts for our Central Texas climate. Given that it is a
multi-dimensional problem, it begs for a computerized planner.
Anyone ever hear of a computerized intensive vegetable garden
planner? Anyone willing to design one in their spare
time?
