1. What do you most want to be able to do on a site like this?
To keep a gardening journal that I can easily share with friends. Right now, I have a written journal that I used to keep track of basic gardening milestones (sowing, germination, transplants) and I haphazardly share photos and harvests on DW and Tumblr but it's not very organized and all over the place? It'd be nice if I can put it all in one place. I'd also like to be able to share seeds.
2. What's missing from other sites that you've looked at?
Comfort? I don't know how to phrase this properly. I don't get a sense of belonging at other places. I have one main garden forum I hit up for tips and tricks because it does contain a LOT of info from extremely experienced gardeners over many, many years, but I don't really get a sense of community there.
3. What would make you keep coming back/staying involved, rather than drifting away?
A sense of community, I guess?
4. If this site just did one thing really well, what do you wish it was?
Being able to keep an online, flexible* gardening journal that I can share with people. (* flexible in the sense that I do some unorthodox things in terms of sowing seeds & I'd like to be able to note that so people won't be alarmed that I'm sowing seeds outdoors in the middle of January on the US East Coast.)
