What are the chances of adding (yet another) link to the home page? One with the grower & his or her list of seeds they are growing in 2004? People could use this link during the summer to reference and find out who else may be growing the same things. This would make it easy to know who's diary to follow, or who they could call and compare notes with. I myself find it overwhelming going through everyones diary just to find what other people have growing in their patch. It would really be handy to have one link available to click on, then view their line up, instead of looking through posting after postings, or all the different diaries. People who know someone who does not have a computer could also post their information for them, provided that is acceptable with that grower. There are also people like mysef who seem to fall off the planet after May 1st, and nobody knows what seeds they are growing. I know there are already tons of links to click on from the start page, but that is one link which could be really helpful & useful to a lot of growers.

It's just a suggestion... I've been wanting to post it every spring, but I always forget, as things get busy from this point on. In case I get lost in the patch {make that patches...) like always, then I guess this may be goodbye until around October or November. After that time, I'll be back in the chat room drinking beer....LOL !!! I will do my best to check my mail (and answer it) this summer, and also log in this site and say hi from time to time. Good luck to everyone... may you all top your PB's !!!

I think that's a great idea Madman, it may also be helpful if you could easily "rate" your seed/plants(1-10?), for vigor, heat resistance, etc. Also might be nice to know which seeds didn't germinate, and which ones you'd plant again.

Thanks for letting me know Cliff! See, I'd probaby not know that until mid summer or later, maybe not until winter. I'm glad others agree,& I like Kilrs Kilr ideas too...rate a seed... sounds like a cool game show too. Maybe it will be on bigpumpkins TV...lmao!

Ron;
I'd be interested, maybe for 2005... I have some 990 X 3 self genetics for this year... lemme know what your doing for genetics with the one your growing. Did it germinate? I have a few really great older genetics to play with this year, but a lot of old stuff were duds. I need therapy now...
