More Free Gardening Software

And my sob story is that after I loaded the info on most of my tomatoes and peppers of the last two years, and all of my trade info, the blanketty-blank Windows system boot crashed/was corrupted and I had to bring my PC in for a wipe and system reload since I got it used with key but no disks. I think the docs and pics are saved, so hopefully the database info is still there, but all the non WinXP programs I've collected are gone. I don't know when I'll get time to find and load everything again. Very disheartening.

(Asked the techs to put a dual boot into Ubuntu as long as they were messing about with it anyway, this is last money I'm spending on Windows on that machine.)

The good news, is that at least now I know I can load Ted's latest and greatest versions without any glitches.

And I got a good reminder on backing up data!
