To keep track of what is in the garden, I am using crop planning by clayton carter.

To keep as much portable as possible, I have built out a Debian net install VM in VirtualBox.
Added lxde gui - VM auto launches logs in and starts crop planner.jar

I use the VMs as they allow simple fast way to transfer whole machine solution to AWS.
