Frugal Gardener Garden Procrastinator I helped beta test the first seed swap Plant and/or Seed Trader Seed Starter Region: Pacific Northwest
Photo Contest Winner: 2014 Avid Green Pages Reviewer Garden Ideas: Master Level Garden Sages I was one of the first 300 contributors to the plant database! I helped plan and beta test the plant database.
First, is there still a way to get at a test version of the database? A way to find out what options exist under data entry withOUT accidently creating new, bogus entires in the mod queue?

I don't know much about the "Primary Plant Details" within a genus, but could these be added to the tomato genus Solanum or Lycopersicon?

Maybe as an extra radio button under "Habit, Vine":
- Determinate
- Indeterminate
- Semi-determinate

Vine Length (under optimum conditions):
- free text, maybe allow multiple comments

Fruit Size:
(either a comment field that could be "1-2 inches" or (2-4 ounces)
or a radio button:
- currant
- grape
- cherry
- small (?-? inches)
- medium (? - ? ounces)
- large (over one pound)

fruit shape:
- globe
- pear
- plum
- oval
- beefsteak type
- other

fruit color:
- red
- orange
- red-orange
- gold
- yellow
- pink
- dark
- purple
- other (free text, such as "lemon-yellow", "mahogony-brown", "X striped with Y")

Relative Earliness:
(When the search feature becomes elaborate, this may be used a lot.
(I suggest AGAINST days-to-maturity because that varies so much by temperature and how fast Spring warms up and how early you start.)
- ultra-early
- very early
- early
- semi-early
- mid-season
- mid-late
- late season


Flavor: (subjective, maybe incrment the number in each button for each vote)
- mild
- full, rich
- sweet
- acid
- fruity / tropical
- other (free text)

Thanks for considering these!
