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.
At last I installed FireFox, created a "List", and had added two plants to it in about a minute. The only delay was searching for plants and narrowing down to the cultivars I wanted.

I guess I'll get faster at that, I have done very few database searches yet ... I'm used to separate entry fields for genus, species and cultivar (and common name) , and scanning partial search results from that. Is there a separate search engine here for that kind of data entry habit?

I think the "Have seeds" categories will be very convenient as I get used to them. And suddenly I'm motivated to learn how to root cuttings - instead of rot them.

P.S. About the distinction between "trade seeds" and "sell seeds" ... which would I check if I'm willing to send something for postage or gratis? I've been checking both where I have plenty of the seed in question, even though I usually wouldn't "charge" more than postage.

OR ... when we check "sell seeds", are we implying that we're a retail business?
