Wow, how ironic...I was going to come on and ask 'kinda' the same question.

I'm looking for a program where I can see how big garden plants get (herbs, veggies, fruit etc.) so I can plan appropriate planting. I realize it states on the seed pkg. how big it grows, but I can't visualize how bushy it will get. Plus, I'm more of a visual learner than reader. :?

TKD, if you try the suggested program, please let us know how it worked for you. Thanks. :-D

Jolara, vegetable plant sizes vary so much, it would be nearly impossible to find something like that. I've had the same variety of tomatoes that varied from plant-to-plant and from year-to-year, some only waist-high, some taller than I could reach, even standing on a ladder. I've grown Australian Butter Squash plants one year that were about 6 feet in diameter, while, the previous year, they were in excess of 50 feet. It all depends on the amount of rain, the amount of sunshine, how much wind, the soil, whatever amendments you've added, the temperature, how many deer and rabbits know where you live, and much more.
