Harvestor

From Seed to Harvest Data Collection

Welcome to the Harvestor landing page

The Harvestor is an application for finding botanical information on different types of seeds. Additionally, a localized growth season can be estimated based off a provided latitude & longitude, and/or any stored farmer's almanac information regarding the region.

About

This webapp was made using Ruby on Rails, JS/HTML/CSS, and MariaDB!

My motivation for this project came from gathering information on different garden seeds in a spreadsheet. This spreadsheet, combined with a local farmer's almanac, would be my goto for information anytime I started planting and tending to a garden. One day I simply thought it'd be neat to automate this process with a computer application, thus here we are!

The World Map was created using the open-source QGIS software and Natural Earth datasets!

Elevation data is provided by the USGS Elevation Point Query Service!
•  How accurate are elevations from the USGS National Map?
