At the risk of making myself look a little silly ...lol. I am trying to set up 'my' page. I DON'T want to trade in seeds but that's the only category that comes up in my 'have' and 'will have' etc. I only want to trade in plants. Where am I going wrong?

Louisa, welcome, and trust me - that's not a silly question at all. Dave will probably answer this more fully than I could, but as I understand it, this area was originally set up with seeds in mind; however, I think you can use it for plants as well (I did in my "wish" list, although you can't see the areas I converted from seed to plant) I just ad libbed the sections that are more appropriate to seed-trading (# of seeds per packet, # of packets, and then you can indicate number of plants you have available to trade.

Some of the plant traders have also just listed what they have available directly in the forum - obviously this won't work once most of us thaw out and have starts of lots of plants to offer in trade.

Dave, is this "missing element" part of the re-write plan?

Hi All,

the lists are slanted toward seeds right now, but I'm working on revamping this to make it easier to list plants and other items.

Right now, you can still list plants on your lists, as RiseAnn said. Just ignore the seed trading stuff (# per packets, etc). Maybe in the name of the item, add "plant" to it, so it looks like this:

Name: Hosta (Plant)

Check out my want-list to see how I'm doing it.

I was really confused for awhile too. But you can post on the forums. Just click on forums and scroll to the plant trading forum and post your trades there and also on your own page. I have gotten nearly everything I wanted except sidacelea "little princess" and perisan shield.

Thanks for your advice and welcomes. It's so nice to be here. One more question - I would like to post a little note about myself - where and how do I do this? Now I am going to repeat "I know nothing about computers"!!!

On the right hand side of this page, you will see a menu. Click on "Preferences". Once that page loads, click on "Homepage" at the top of the screen. At the bottom of that page, you can give a summary about yourself.
