I like the articles, too, but I had noticed that some were getting a little thin on written content and were mostly photos. We need to clone Sharon so that she can write an article every single day! Hilarious! (and some of the other great writers, too!)

I just had an idea that might be kind of fun for "filler" this winter. Since people are starting to sow their seeds for spring we could have a "Seedling Saturday" or "Seedling Sunday." During the week, people could submit photos of a seedling in the cotyledon stage (or first-leaf stage at most.) On the chosen day, 10 or less photos could be featured with the plants' names initially hidden. Perhaps a mouse-over would reveal the name (or some other method.) It might be a fun way for people to practice their seedling ID skills or start learning them. It might start conversations about the various seedlings and , hopefully, the photos' submitters could be involved with that. I'm sure that some of the seedlings would be from seeds obtained in the new ATP Seed Swaps so it may also bring some attention to that feature. Just a thought. I like trivia and games so it is the sort of thing that would appeal to me but I can't speak for anyone else. Shrug!
