What does anyone think of an additional database field with perhaps a drop-down list (or not) of general plant care and maintenance. I often am at a loss what to do with plants after they bloom - deadhead as they fade, cut the whole thing to the ground, cut it back hard but leave some foliage, etc. Although I don't do much specific fertilizing, some plants do benefit from scratching in amendments other than plain ol' compost. And when to prune - before or after bloom, when dormant, etc. This type of information could be added as a comment, but I've not found that very often. It would need to be a bit generic, i.e., prune when buds swell, rather than prune in February, to be useful for different zones.
I want to live in a world where the chicken can cross the road without its motives being questioned.
