Another nice podcast, Dave and Trish...
And here I went and grew my own sweetpotato slips this year from saved SW (<-- edited--..I mean SP) from last years harvest. Dang if I ended up not planting a single one this year; got too busy doing other people's gardens. Maybe I'll just grow a slip in my shoffice as an ornamental vine!
Great info on the QR code thingy, too. I recently got a fancy phone (an android of some kind?) so wonder if it will scan. I assume you use the camera for that? I'll have to get better educated; right now I'm happy I've learned how to make and receive calls on it.
Dave, I've heard of some kind of app where people take pictures of plants and results come back telling them what the plant is, or choices of what it might be. I wonder if one day you could do that and when people click SEND (to submit their plant in question) it would go to the ATP Identification forum where people could identify it, then a response would be sent back to the original person with a link to the forum/thread with the results. Seems like it would be fairly quick, user friendly, even open up a link to the database, and also bring in new members.
As for me it sounds overwhelming how someone would program that but in these days when everyone's phone is automatically hooked up to the internet it sure would bring in some interest (and members). It would also be connecting people with people (forum conversation), something important to me so we all don't get lost in only relating to a smart phone/computer encyclopedia, etc.
Then again, maybe ATP already has that feature and I'm too ignorant (so far!) to know.
But again, love the podcasts! And think I missed the contests cus I didn't listen to last weeks, which I assume is where you mentioned it.
Best to All!
