weed data Idea time!

[DoodleBopper]

This thought popped into my head while out picking weeds, don't think it has already been done on here... It could be usefull to people to make list a list of what weeds are available around the year. Like have each month and what weeds can be found. Example:
January:
Dandelion
Plantain

February:
Bindweed etc etc
I know that probably isn't the right weeds, but you get what I mean :)
Thought this was be good so that people know what they're looking for, unlike me who wanders aimlessly looking for anything I can see :P WOuld be nice to know when I can find different things.

[EquestrianBabe]

I think that is an excellent idea :p And everytime someone finds a weed at a certain month and it isn't on the list, we can Private message a Mod/Admin and they can add it to the list :p I hope this idea is taken into consideration.

[DoodleBopper]

Yeah that sounds cool EB, yeah i think it would really help people :)

[EquestrianBabe]

:p I hope a Mod or Admin see's it soon xxx

It is a good idea, but it varies alot at the start of the year and end depending on how far north or south you are

[EquestrianBabe]

Hmmm ..... good point. But perhaps it could be like this:

January
Dandelion, found by EquestrianBabe from East Belfast :p

[joanna]

yep that could work

[EquestrianBabe]

Mmm, it could. And we could do how easy it is to find as in percentages. Example:

January
Dandelion, by EquestrianBabe from East Belfast. 100% to find
Plantain, by DoodleBopper from Norfolk. 25% to find

:p

It's a good idea but I'm not sure that Linda meant add the info to this feedback thread, maybe best to wait and find out first. It will be a huge task for someone to rake through all the info and put it all together somewhere.

The tortoise table website has a "what's available this month" section but the problem is that it's only available depending on where you live as well

[DoodleBopper]

We could PM it to Linda?

We could PM it to Linda?

best to ask her first. it will be some job sorting it all out into some kind of format though. it won't be of benefit if there is not some kind of order to it
