Store the plants words and their planting seasons in a dictionary Prompt the user to enter the name of a plant they want to look up.  If the plant exists in the dictionary, print its planting season. Your program should be case insensitive e.g. both "cabbage" and "CABBAGE" should print "spring or late summer". If the word does not exist in the dictionary, print a message telling the user that you don't have the information they're looking for. Continue to prompt the user to enter a plant name to look up until they enter "q" to quit the program.
