An easy to use application to design your kitchen garden or your house farm. Helps you plan your plants ( vegetables, fruit trees, herbs, flowers ) so that it respects the rules of crop rotation and companion planting. Based on square foot gardening.
A fork of https://sourceforge.net/projects/kitchengarden. The windows installer contains all necessary files. A Linux and Mac package contains scripts and instructions to install the dependencies, and run KGA. If you download the jar directly, you must have Java 9+, including javafx. Oracle and OpenJDK java runtimes no longer include javaFX, and it must be separately installed. Alternatively https://www.azul.com/downloads/zulu-community/ is a JRE that provides a free 'JRE FX' installable that includes java and javafx. Installing it is the easiest way to run KGA on another OS.
Kitchen garden aid is primarily tested on java 15, with javafx 15 on windows. If you notice a bug, especially on another OS please report it so I can fix.

Having used Kitchen Garden Aid for the past 3 yrs I have to say that it has been an incredible help in planning my garden. By keeping a copy of the gardens from year to year, crop rotation becomes easy to do. I was so happy to see that this program is being further developed, especially all the new functionalities in vs 2+. Love the ability to add the cultivar name, since I often grow more than one cultivar at the same time.
