I’ve always dreamed of having a gardening simulator on my PC. Well, ok… not always, but ever since I seriously got into gardening when I bought my first house back in 2000. I mean the data is already out there, in spades – but no one seems to have come up with a decent algorithm for this. There might not be a huge demand, but I do know that the many gardeners I’ve met over the years are quite passionate about their hobby and would love a tool like this … Continue reading

As the move gets inexorably closer, the more detail I’m trying to flesh out for the farming venture. After re-reading some of the pertinent sections of my several books on the topic of growing plants for profits, I’ve started trying to lay down some concrete plans.

I have a PSP, and I’ve heard of the GameBoy Advance (3D even), so where is Microsoft’s portable X-Box?

As yet, … Continue reading

So I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about how and what to try and start growing on my Mom’s land this Summer in order to make some kind of profit. I’m still undecided. At first I was thinking of doing ornamental and bedding plants because they seem to always be in demand – along with grafts from the various fruit trees from the existing orchard. But I don’t think the grafts would be ready for resale until next year, and the same probably goes for getting established as a … Continue reading
