iGarden - it's the future

[HeyWayne]

It struck me just the other night. Ever since the inception of the iPod (frankly one of the coolest gadgets ever made) everything known to man is being called iSomething.

I was looking for a present for someone and was amazed at how many things have the "i" prefix.

How long do you think before it infects the gardening world, or has it already and I've as yet been iGnorant to it thus far?

Will we soon see the iSpade, or the iComposter...

Will we soon be growing vegetables on an iPatch?

iDread to think Wayne

I am already growing veg on my farm on bookface.

Maybe iwill have more success with virtual cabbages?

I play Runescape and I think that you can have a veg plot of some sorts on there. I don't know for sure yet because you have to pay to be a mamber to get that facility and I'm too tight to pay

I know they have spades and compost bins on there - don't know about doing a virtual wee in the compost though

imatechnophobe, but I do have a DS

iGarden could be handy as a planner for the real thing, if someone ever invents it.....
Otherwise, I don't think we need 'virtual' gardens on our computers or similar. We have enough imagination without that!

yep you do, it was pretty cool too, you can grow all sorts of things, tomatos, potatos corn rasberries strawberries, even trees later lol.

and the composting actually works, you have to fill it with grass etc and leave it for a day, then use it on the soil before you plant or it wont grow anything.

i guess that qualifies as an iGarden

Don't make me have to join Runescape...my OH's DD is obsessed and I don't want to go there. Seriously. Stop it. Now.






please?

Apparently there is a 'game' called virtual life, where you can invent an alter ego and make them successful. Some people even sell these characters for 1000s of quids on ebay and the like, as the game is interactive all over the world. I kid ye not. People sit there on their lardy ar5es living virtual lives. I worry about society, I really do. It might rain and get crappy outside, but give me a REAL garden any day! A garden planner is a great idea, but to simply grow virtual veg? Ummmm...

What's Runescape, can you get in on dial-up or DS, sounds like I would love it

its an online game, http://www.runescape.com/
, not sure you could cope on dial up though, you could always try the free version to see.

I, sorry, i wasn't talking about virtual gardening.

More the fact that there is an increasing number of "i" products....
