I was so excited when I realised that DS had finally added what appeared to be a serious gardening guide. I received this as an anniversary present and waited with anticipation upon it's arrival. Within half an hour of using the the programme found that it was not what I was expecting at all.The plant list is limited to 400 and a lot of the more common plants are not even in the list, to make matters worse you cannot add your own plant selection to the list as there is no wifi capability.This would be a good guide to anyone who has a totally bare garden and wants to start from scratch, as long as you don't purchase over 48 plants,

I bought this as I'm just starting my own vegetable garden, and wanted to plant some basics like carrots, beetroot, mange tout, lettuce, spring onions etc...It says it can help you plan your garden, which it does indeed, so my plan was to use it to note down what veg I'd planted, when they were planted, and when they'll need harvesting etc...I then discovered that the most BASIC fruit and veg aren't even on the list, so it is of no use whatsoever to me! What a complete waste of money.It gets 2* rather than 1*, as this would be fine if you ONLY buy fruit, veg and plants that area featured in its list.

With an RHS endorsement I expected this to be quite in-depth, and hoped to get a detailed encyclopaedia of plants that could be searched for using different criteria. Why do I dislike it? For a start, the names are mostly just common names, not latin as well. Quite a few common garden plants are missing. In the choosing a plant section, it asks what soil you have but doesn't list Acid soil as a choice. There is a quiz which is reasonably okay. Might be good for beginners, but I lost patience with it, and will return to my informative "Expert" books instead.

I purchased this game to aid in the planning of my garden and allotment and was very disapointed when I discovered it only provided information on Flowers, shrubs and some fruit. Be aware when purchasing.
