    Does not live up to expectations2
    This CD does not live up to expectations, I thought from the description that it it had a vast range of plants and information but it turned out to lack many of my garden plants. My overall impression was it is of inferior quality. It was not expensive and so has my two star rating.

    Beware this CD out dated and now repackaged1
    I discover that this CD old CD was once called Romany Growing Plants and has now been re-packaged.
    Read the review in the March issue of Computer Active you'll see
    it says Romany Growing Plants is also available as Your Garden Encyclopedia from Focus.
    This program starts to wilt under close scutiny. First of all, the interface feels incredibly dated, and although the cover claims that the program is 'interactive' it can hardly carry this clain by modern standards. Quite what the use is of features such as a 10,000-yeal diary, address book and calculator escapes us, and while some ground is made up in the program's broad coverage of plant types and characteristics, there is a consistant lack of depth to the information. altogether this package falls short for anyone seeking real practical help in the garden, and at no pointdoes it feel like a product that has been designed with the UK gardener in mind.
