MakeItGrow 2.4 is a garden layout package for your Macintosh. It will allow you to lay out a garden up to 200' x 200', using 96 of the most common types of vegetables, herbs, and fruits, 100 common flowers, and 44 water lillies, rushes, and grasses. Each icon is drawn in the correct scale for the spacing required for the plant. The program also supports line drawing in eight colors, for garden boundaries, etc, plus a wide selection of fill patterns and the ability to draw circles, rectangles, and rounded rectangles, as well as text entry (with support for font, size, and style selection), in either the vertical or horizontal mode.
The grid is fixed at 6" per square, or 15 cm, allowing for a 200'x200', or about a 65x65 meter plot.
