Hi:
My Zone is 3a or 3B. I'm in NW Ontario. Thought I might be close to you and if you would share where you got the plant data base. Maybe I can get one too! Sounds like it would be handy to have.
Thanx
Geo

Ooops! I got your reply at my email address, and wrote you via "reply". The only address on there was a gardenweb.com one and I'm not sure how that works (I better find out...I may have mail and not know it). So I'll repeat my answer here, too. A lot of people have written, asking where I got it, so I really should give more info anyway.

As for being close by, no such luck: I'm in north/central Alberta. *But* you may be able to find it there, too. I got it at Save-on-Foods (I spent 5 years in Toronto, and I can NOT remember if ON has S-o-F stores!).

I was literally standing there like a potted plant, chatting with a customer who had some gardening questions, and the clerk asked "do you ladies have computors?" We both said yes, and she handed us each a copy. She had a big pile of them, so I very much doubt we were "special customers". Maybe this is a sort of "quiet give-away" for spring. I haven't seen ads for it anywhere.

Good luck, and let me know what you find, please!

Cheers,
- Merri

Would love to get a copy of the free software. Can you send it by email attachment? Thanks...Heather

I'd love to get that software - actually, I'd buy it (if it wern't too pricey) if it were available. All I have ever found were hard to use CAD programs.

Thanks, Merricat!!

A database is usually too big to send by e-mail. Merricat, if want to burn a copy of the CD and send it to me, I'd be happy to put it on my web site for people to download. Let me know by e-mail...

Did this ever become available? thx
