Product Review – groOrganic Garden Planner
groOrganic offers many services on their site, the most interesting of which is their garden planner. The garden planner is an online program that allows you draw out your garden plans, as well as input what your planning to grow.

Expert on ShopSquad

The site covers a variety of areas, including computers, sporting goods, food & win, and babies. All you have to do is type in a key word...like say for instance "sippy cups". You will then be taken to a screen that lists all the people who are knowledgeable with sippy cups.If your curious or needing help finding an item, you can contact me on the site via my profile. I'm live in site Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. CST (central time). If I'm not there, leave a question and I'll try to get back to you as soon as possible.
