Last month @eclayne asked for a way to keep track with bloom times for his plants:

The thread "Can we have a way to track bloom times in our gardens" in Site Talk forum

I am pleased to announce that this feature is ready. You can now track certain events that occur with plants in your garden. To use the feature, go to your Lists page and you'll see all your plants that you have. Now, on the right side where you see the actions icons (Edit, delete, etc) you'll see a new icon that looks like a calendar. Click on that to view the events for that plant.

If you haven't added any events yet, it'll give you a place to add a new event. Choose the event type ("Bloomed", "Transplanted", "Harvested", etc) and select the dates. You can choose just a start date, or a range. (You can also add just a start date, and later on edit the entry to add an end date.)

Save your event and it'll then show up in your list. You can add as many events to a plant as you wish.

The events you add will be displayed inside your list, right next to the notes and other information.

In time, I can enhance this feature to make it display the information in a calendar format like eclayne was asking about, and perhaps I can even display some of this information obtained in the plant database entries themselves. Maybe this'll be end up being the start of a larger feature!
