Jon, first off, great job. Nice designs, and the "default" tee shirt options are excellent. I'm with janinilulu in liking the "learn, plant, grow" design best and would love to see that in more options. Although, if I could order the body, too, I'd be fine with the tee shirt shown. Yet that would probably be a lot extra.

New idea for you, Jon. And I'm sure you could find at least 12 members to help you.
How about doing a calendar for 2020? Nothing complicated. Not a daytimer. Just something purdy that folks could put on a wall. Maybe 12 x 12 spiral bound pages. You would have to hustle tho. Maybe wait for 2021.

I do know that it's not worth doing unless you know you'll get a lot of sales. (Ask me how I know? Lips are sealed.) But I don't think volume would be an issue. I'd buy one if the price was reasonable.

Watch out. That might be Dave. 😝

I think you added another or I overlooked it before. Anyway, I really like it.

Yes that new one I secretly added recently Smiling
I'll be adding it in all different shirts too (Long sleve short sleve, hoodie, sweatshirt etc)
I'll be adding default sweatshirts too with all the logos and other designs

As for shipping, if you have a problem you will have to contact me directly. The service I use for the shirts doesn't work well with returns, so just email me if you have a problem at [email protected]

And I'll be putting that on my store in the about section whenever I make one

Jon, great job! Thumbs up What you've done is amazing. I tip my hat to you. Love the newest design. I will wait til there are more designs for the womens' v-neck. I am very skinny so the men's small would be much too big and I look like a boy in a man's crewneck t-shirt. Smiling

Another suggestion. I understand why you've only used the female model once. But I think it would me more interesting to show some of the unisex t-shirts with a female model.

This doesn't effect me but am curious if members with kiddos or grandkids might want to get t-shirts in children's sizes. Dunno.

The possibilities are endless.

I think some children's shirts would be great! Many members garden with their grandchildren.

Ha, Jon, we'll keep you hopping!

@Jon, any chance of a Crewneck Sweatshirt with the Butterfly/Azalea graphic and text below that says I grow at garden.org ?

I want to buy one like that! 🙂

Under the store name it now says "Online T-Shirt Store". Later I hope it will say "T-Shirts and More!"

@Jon, is there any way of holding shipment of my tee shirt and sweatshirt orders for another week or two? I should have thought about it before but I haven't been thinking clearly due to preparing for hurricane Dorian. We're hoping the storm stays far enough off shore that it doesn't have major impact to our area but latest reports are that the eye will be approximately 25-30 miles off our coast so we know we'll be getting tropical storm force winds and a lot of rain and likely flooding. We are considering evacuating if the forecast worsens in the next 24 hours and I will have our mail held if we do leave but if I thought if there was a chance you could delay shipping my order, that would be really helpful.

Jon — You are really busy! So much new stuff!
I still haven't measured any of my wear-in-public t-shirts yet or checked their fabrics. (I know what cotton is but some stuff is beyond me.) And then there's my budget. But hope to order something soon.

@plantladylin I have placed a hold on your order, once you think you are in the clear let me know and I'll take it off, once I remove the hold it will be another week or so until you get it

I use Gimp, but if you give it to me with a white background I can convert it
