Graham, Gareth Is Granting Your Request
Filed Under Bento Tips, Editorial, Templates
Attention, Bento users: from today on, look for your name in the title of a new post!
Gareth, BentoUsers‘ brand new guest-contributor will make templates for you, even simple ones like this one: Gardening.
Submit your requests as a comment in the article Template Ideas, Please! where Gareth will choose his victim. This time it’s Graham’s request that tickled his fancy.
I will still give tips as well, but Gareth will do the actual work – thanks a bunch, my friend! I like the idea especially because it offers something that the new Filemaker, Inc. Template Exchange does not offer.
Gareth is a MSCE and a CCNA (computer specialists know what this means) and has been working on a Mac for three years. He loves Bento even more, after he found out that its limits can be overcome “… if you are clever and look beyond the problem. Ideas just keep popping into my head!” Gareth, I would like to add that you also have the tenacity to keep trying until you find the right workaround or solution!
The Gardening Template includes pretty much everything that you requested, Graham. If there are additional questions, please leave a comment right here.

Wow. Cool, I will certainly give this a go and it may encourage me to explore what Bento can do so I can do templates like this myself. Thank you Gareth.

Hi Graham, You’re very welcome!
I only scratched the surface on this. You could create smart collections based on months, so you know what months or weeks plants need pruning! You could also had things like: flowering season, etc. or soil type. (I do not garden so I am at a loss really lol) You could change the calculation to months if that is more appropriate (just remember date calculations in bento uses seconds to do the math).
