These will be included in version 3.0.4.
before placing a plant, you can specify how many squares wide it is, so that it is '1x' or '2x' or '3x' squares wide. You do this via the 'Size' dropdown in the bottom left. The intention of this is that you can consider 1 square to be your smallest plant size, and then do '2 squares' for plants that take twice as much space. I use '1' as '1 foot' (for things like carrots, there are multiple plants per square, but I still plant a full foot). things like squash are 2 or 3 squares, depending on species....

Walter, I believe I have a fix for this issue in version 3.0.2. When you have a second would you mind giving that version a try and letting me know whether it does indeed resolve your issues? Thanks, Stephen

KitchenGarden 2 - localization issues
R. Brown, for any plant you choose, it is now possible to include a variety name, and the name will show up under the plants icon.
Jason, unfortunately not currently. This is one I want too, unfortunately it is a lot of work which is why it hasn't happened yet.
some of the targets definately cannot be., The windows installers at the very least require that they are windows. I suspect some of the jobs that use jlink to get javafx into a jdk may as well. If it's the linux installer specifically that won't built, send me over the error... that one is probably fairly easy to fix even though some of the others would not be.
Ivan, I don't think I ever discovered those hot keys in kga one. It sounds like you are basically after a way to move a group of squares around the garden together.... Would something like shift clicking multiple squares, and then using the arrow keys to move them meet your needs? If not, can you give me a bit more detail on the ask?
Charles, I am not familiar with esoftcage, and do not know whether it is the same software or not.
Walter, I'm also on windows 10... I have a guess as to the issue, and have started on a fix. would you be willing to share a copy of the garden you are editing, as well as the following specs for your computer: 1) how much RAM does it have 2) what type of CPU does it have? I'm hoping that either I can either experience the same behavior if I open your garden, or alternatively, find a computer that is more similar to yours than mine and hopefully reproduce that way so that I can be sure whether my...
Improvement idea: Interyear harvest
fyi: if you sit the mouse in the top row, or leftmost column, a new row or column will be added in that direction. need to change that.
the fix to prevent the garden from getting that large is now available in version 3.0.1. It is also abl;e to open your save (It will log an error about how some of the plants make the garden too large, and then not load those ones).

well..... I understand why it is failing. apparently if a garden grows beyond 120 squares in either height or width this happens. I am not sure yet why 120 squares is the magic number, but it definitely is (hopefully not only on my computer). In this save file, the garden has some very extreme positions for the very small number of plants.... It is 117 squares wide, by 194 squares tall. My question: is your garden intentionally that large, or was it accidentally made that large by scrolling around...
would you mind attaching a copy of your saved garden? looks like it is hitting a bug in the upgrade code, and if I'm right it will be easier to be sure I've got it fixed if I can try opening your garden as saved from the old version of kga. I believe I will have time to get a fox put together this weekend, I'll drop you a not once available.
thiemo, have you taken a look at version 3.0.0? what you describe is the feature it just added. it allows you to specify a plating date and harvest date for each plant, and then allows you to view your garden at any day of the year. if it's not addressing your use case, I'd love more detail on why since it sounds like exactly what I was trying to address with that work (and this point my own garden plan in it is using many of its squares 3 times during the same year).

Not showing varieties in Linux
There is not a howto, however in the app, on the help menu, there is a link to a video on youtube that is a quick tutorial of how to do the basics. It can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewd93VvlNfY I don't remember if I made that before or after adding variety, but I need to make an updated version soon, and will remmber to cover adding varieties when I do.
Thank you! I will plan on adding this into the next release (and test on Mac when doing so).
Alberto, Have you entered any varieties? If not, type the name of the variety on your seed packet into the combo box. This will add the variety, and the next time you are adding that plant the variety should show up. The intention of this dropdown is that you can enter a name that makes sense for your particular seeds, and allows you to differentiate between multiple varieties of the same plant. Mind letting me know whether that resolves the issue? Thanks, Stephen

Great idea.
Great idea.

This is on the roadmap, likely in the relatively near term.

I have added these in version 2.2.12 (which will finish uploading shortly.)
Yes, this is a fairly quick/easy thing to do. Are there any plants other than ginger you are requesting? I'll see about getting Ginger added in the near future.

Walter, Unfortunately it's been a very busy summer, so I don't have any major updates tucked away about to ship. (Pretty much as soon as updates are able to be shipped, I ship them. The process of creating a release is mostly automated). The next major thing on the todo list is still getting it so you can plan multiple gardening seasons, but I missed my goal of having that out before that fall season hit. Hope your garden is doing well. Thanks for checking, Stephen

Thanks for letting me know, and sorry about the delay Alex, it's been a busy last few weeks. I've got a fix for both issues included in version 2.2.10, which will be available for download shortly.

All of the items on the help menu should be localizable, I believe this even includes the link to the tutorial video. If I'm wrong about one of them, they should all be easy to make localizable if you have Russian content you wish to link them to. If you let me know where something is that cannot be translated and you wish to translate, I'm happy to take a look. To add new plants, you edit species.xml. The only centralized repository to avoid duplicates would be the source control system. I have...
Regarding Issue #2, I have tracked down the issue, and have a fix. The filter was filtering out any non-ASCII characters in the names.... which for Russian is all of the ones that matter. For issue #3: the intention of the UI is that the 'name' is translatable, and the 'species' always displays the name of the species in latin, regardless of language. Am I understanding correctly that in Russian, the scientific name of species is not in latin like it is for many other languages? If so I will need...

Alex, Can you please provide more information on how to reproduce issues #2 and #3? So far I am unable to. I attempted to do this by searching for tyhe following plants in the Spanish language': abrótano apio Both of these successfully searched using the Spanish language. If you can give me a bit more information on how to reproduce, I'm happy to take a look. The code is currently attempting to searching using both the local language name and English, so I suspect there is a small difference between...

you are correct, windows and mac include JVMS that come with javafx preconfigured. The bundled jvms are there to make it easier for folks to get up and running since javafx is a pain to install. Linux comes wityh an installation script that installs javafx for you (It happens to be easy to write for linux, but is not (that I coiuld find) on mac or windows). I';ll toss this in the next versions readme as well.

Thiemo, I think I have a fix for this which will be included in the 2.2.8 release. I'm not 100% sure though, so if you encounter it again, please let me know. I was not able to reproduce hitting 't' causing the navigation. However, I was able to reproduce pressing alt + t as doing that, when in the german language. So I am hoping your keyboard has a stuck 'ALT' key. This was caused by an odd interaction of the German translation not having a translation for the button, the default name it returned...

Walter, ideas and contributions are always welcome. Considering you speak a different language then me, I'll also mention that translations are also welcome (on the 'help' menu their is a 'translations' tab that lets you update the translation for any language, and then update the exports to a file for including in the next version of KGA if you have any interest in doing so. Regarding your seed tracking, FYI there is a 'seed manager' in KGA that can be used for this (and if you wind up wanting another...
The different space requirements for plants can be set in the latest version. After you select a plant, look in the lower-left pane. This has a 'size' dropdown just below the 'variety' dropdown. By default all plants are '1x1' but they can be increased (I think I made the max 10x10). It doesn't provide default size by species since some very a-lot.... for Example, both watermelons and pumpkins are often 8 feet, but there are 2 foot varieties of both. The size you enter is tracked for the specific...

closing. As discussed not currently a way to add plants. The desired plants are being added in another ticket.

So far I've added through row 15 in your excel file. I should get through more tomorrow. If you'd like to help, adding a column that contains a link to a public domain image that you think matches the style of KGA would be quite helpful, Most of the time adding plants is tracking down a suitable image. It is important that the images are public domain. My preferred file format is a .svg file, but I can make any image format work when a suitable SVG is not available. If you are curious, here is an...
Thanks Ramon. I'll plan on releasing a new version with this translation update later on this week (if you get me the plants you want added for your other ticket, I will put both changes into the same release).
English: There is not currently a feature that allows you to add your own seeds and plants. You have 2 options here: option 1: If you let me know what plants are missing, I'd be happy to add them and release a new version of KGA that contains them as well. I should have time to add some additional plants later on this week. option 2: there is an 'other' plant type. You can use it, and then use the 'variety' feature to track the specific plant. After you choose the 'Other' plant, just type the name...
