Hey Jeff, I love your Gardening app. I have a thought here that I think would be a great addition to your program. A calendar. With a calendar, users would be able to graphically track their gardens. The calendar should be big enough so that there would be room for little icons on the individual days. There could be icons for: sowing, watering, transplanting, sprouting, harvesting, pruning, fertilizing, etc.
I think this feature would be ideal and also very simple - which goes along with the overall feel of your program. When you select a day, a screen opens up where you can select one of the above mentioned activities that you performed (watering, etc.) and also room for you to write a description.
This would be perfect!!! The more I think about it the more excited I get.
The only problem I can see is that you would probably only be able to have 4 icons or so that display at the calendar level, otherwise they'll start overlapping or you'll have to make them too small. I think watering is the most important because that is done daily in a lot of cases. The other events could be user defined/selected. If the user has lots of fruit trees, they'll want pruning and spraying (pesticides) as some of the quick-access icons. But if the user is just a vegetable gardener, they would want transplanting, or sprouting instead. Anyway, because there are so many events that could be on the calendar, there probably should be an "other" icon of some sort just to let the user know that something happened that day that's important so they can click on that day to see what it was.
Alright, is that enough, or do you want more? If you want more ideas, I'd be happy to brainstorm with you.
I really hope you can incorporate this feature into your program. It would revolutionize the industry (of course, because it was MY idea :-)
ps. the strawberry days to harvest is 0. It's a lot longer than that I think.
