Website plans
Eventually I want to have a website where I can do stuff like:
- Draw a layout of the property
- Make boxes representing different plants
- Upload photos of the plants that can be associated with the boxes
- Be able to tag the photos and add descriptions
- Track how much you've harvested from each plant
- Track either number harvested, or by weight (if you're anal)
- Garden gallery view
And then for v2:
- Save all data by year so you can start fresh every spring and watch your garden change!
- Repurpose the box drawing stuff for garden planning
- Automatically size boxes based on the growing requirements for common plants
- Be able to make your garden gallery public (private by default)
- If public, let people contribute comments and plant identification
- Sweet harvest graphs n stats
