I have a gazillion community web sites, and if I were to add a gardening one to my list it'd probably be GardenTenders.com (because I'm already involved in sister-sites LumberJocks and HomeRefurbers).
So what I'm looking for is something where I can update my social media script to look for patterns like "(Planted|Harvested) (([[a-z]+)(\s+[a-z]+)*)" and pass that information, along with lat/lon, along to an aggregating site that can then give me growing times for my region.
Clearly that's too simplistic because I can stagger my planting, and the notions of "region" are going to be hard to suss out, but...
Now my partner, who does most of the gardening, would love a tool that lets her do layout and shows her shadow tracks for various different times of year (ie: with surrounding buildings, and with different height plants), along with some database that understands plant compatibility (where do you put the marigolds for bug suppression).
The first one seems like a fairly easy database, though I don't know how to fill the user base.
