🌱✌️User profiles! Varieties! Cultivars!

Hey Permapeople,

 

Two weeks ago, there was snow. Now I discovered that my garlic is already coming out of the ground. These tiny bright green shoots give me total spring vibes and I am super excited for the upcoming growing season in the northern hemisphere.

 

If I can ask you for one thing: Please share Permapeople today with one friend who is gardening or plans to get into it.

 

User profiles

 

You asked us to have a more social approach to your marketplace items and lists, so we listened and added user profiles. With this, you can have one link to share all your lists and items on one page. Just log in and find it under Resources > My profile.

Our Open Data Day webinar is in 3 days.

 

If you are interested in the history of Permapeople, the people behind, what we did so far and what we planned for the future, please make sure to join our webinar on Saturday. Currently, we are finalizing the slides and my gif and meme machine is running hot!

 

Date/Time is Saturday 6th March 8pm CET / 2pm EST / 11am PDT

New blog post: Cultivar vs. Variety

So we asked on our Reddit who of you knows the exact difference between cultivar and variety, and this was the response: (Spoiler I am one of the 51, hehe) Simon took the time to write a blog post about it and explained all the details there. Also, we will use these insights to plan how we can work better with varieties in our database.

Please reach out with any questions. I am reading and answering every mail.

See you on Saturday 🌱✌️,
Ben
