I guess the link for "Data"( where the forms are not yet up), is going to be for this purpose,,,what I think would be most helpfull would be an erea where we all could add info about the different bamboos ,,,, On the list the description is often just one sentence ,it would be nice if we could add our own obsevations in a collection ,Bill,I know your a busy guy , not trying to push but I'm really curious what the form may include,and when they might be up? this is a great site thanxs for all you do,rgds

data

I believe that section is in the works. Fredgpops had entered a bunch of his info at one point.....but i think Bill is still working on that section. what has to happen is that everyone else has to have read rights but not modify rights. so when you enter your info no one else can modify it but the user who entered it. that area will be a great database but it can be tricky to setup....at least i would think so....Once that area is finished...we can keep track of our own growing info and everyone can have a comparison of how their own varieties do in ones own zone/sunset zone. I don't think there is anything like that out there now....

Yes it seems a little tricky but will be awsome,I would love to see whose bamboo does what and when,,,I have made my own access database for my own boo and its complicated enough ,,,,, I have no Idea what kind of space it would need but I would gladly pitch into the pot if needed ,,,,rgds
