Hi All,

My time and efforts to date have pretty much been focused on the tomato database but I have occasionally strayed and explored other sections.

This morning I went to suggest some information about a beet, and noticed that there was no "history" field like there is for the tomatoes. I was specifically looking at 'Burpee's Golden' beet.

In the tomato database, we use the field to describe the origin of the variety if it is known. This includes who bred it, introduced it, the year introduced, etc. I think that this would be a useful field to have available for all vegetable types, and even for ornamental.
