allows the user to add or remove seed packets as they are created or sold. The application has a
secure sign up and sign in component and SMS text messaging. SMS text messaging helps
notify everyone when the count is low for a type of seed. The graphic below from Adobe Stock

The application should run easily on most android devices since it is a basic application
with no graphics and was created for both new and older versions of the android system. The
application asks permission to send and receive SMS texts in Manifest, but it does not utilize
audio or video communication.

general use ads could be added and there could be a small one-time fee for the use. Imagining
further plant related expansion, the herbs could be described by how they grow best, what they
can be used for, facts about their chemical and food safety makeup, and the history of their use in
a variety of settings. For example, elderberry flowers and berries are used in a variety of recipes
from baked goods to liquor. Recipes could be included. The application could expand to allow
