Possibly such an application > Graham, I'm wondering how the location of a plant is specified. In trying to imagine how I would do that I thought of GPS coordinates. Decided the numbers would be too big, not easy to remember, and probably not accurate enough. Then I thought I could build my own grid around the garden. One vector would be the X coordinate, the other the Y coordinate. If you don't mind marking your garden borders with an X and Y coordinate your database (or spreadsheet) would be as follows. field (column) 1 : X value field (column) 2 : Y value field (column) 3 : common name field (column) 4 : Latin name Then, when you want names, look them up by the X,Y value.
