To qualify this request, I am working on the tomato database . . . The first request is applicable to anything. The second one below is pretty much specific to tomatoes.

------

It would be helpful when uploading and categorizing a photo, if there was an option in the gallery record for "documentation." On some of these older varieties that have a lot of lore and myth surrounding them, or if cases where the seed in circulation is "messed up," historical documentation like catalog images and descriptions help to set the record straight. Here is an example.



For lack of a better category, I placed it under fruit, but it may be more useful to have a "documentation" category.

------

Under the classification of plant type, indeterminate, determinate and semi-determinate are the current options. There is an additional plant type that would be nice to add. In the old days seedmen called this classification of tomatoes, "tree-type." The modern convention used is "dwarf." Can this be added - Dwarf ("Tree-type")
