Farm Notebook

Farm Notebook - Gardening Web 2.0 styleIn my dream world I'm typing this on a laptop powered by a wind turbine, munching on a nice stick of celery pulled this morning from the family vegetable plot. My dreams of being self sufficient are often hampered by my complete lack of knowledge when it comes to growing and producing, so for the time being they will remain dreams. However, if I did take the plunge (and one day I will) then I would have added confidence that I could aid my management of the lot with a handy web tool.

Farm Notebook is plot management Web 2.0 style, suitable for both vegetable growers and the common-a-garden gardener. Behind the simple and elegant layout is a powerful tool for organinsing your crops, managing seed details and suppliers, planting, harvest and growing details as well as the ability to share information supplied by other users. It allows you to create a website to share (or show off) your current crops and harvest details, pictures of your garden and all sorts of green fingered goodness. And what's more its powered by fellow nominee Ruby On Rails. There's a free 30 day trial available after which there's a more than reasonable annual fee of $25. If it helps you get a bumper crop of organic salad, it should soon pay for itself.
