Josephine here 🧑‍🌾 Hope you're all doing well! I had a quick little announcement I wanted to make to the group! While Rob and I use a few online programs to track our large scale growing and watering schedule, I wanted to create something that made more sense for households just growing for themselves. Something to help keep track of all the chaos (because let's be honest, it can be chaotic!) but being simple enough anyone could find use in it. I've been working on this for the past week or so, and am pretty happy with the result! I wanted to share it with you guys first though, test it out. There are spots color-coded to help you keep track of different plants and their needs, as well as "neutral" colored spots for you to use highlighters and pick your own color tracking. There are a handful of helpful tips and tricks as well, with spots to leave notes and keep track of progress and experimenting. I'D REALLY LIKE TO KNOW if the tracker is helpful, or still needs improvements! You know what they say, it's really tough to look past your own nose sometimes. And even if I think it's a neat pdf, I could be missing some obvious improvements. Please give it a download, and use it either on your ipad/tablets, or print it out and use each week/month. I know I plan to use this for my house plants specifically, but you can use it however you see fit! Can't wait to hear how you guys like it, and if it helps with your indoor growing ventures!

I didn't like the direction that the community was going. It was too complicated!! I'm afraid that the way we set things up was stopping people from doing the simple one-thing this community was made for---POSTING! All of the categories, steps, rules were getting in the way of what we really wanted, and we had to put a stop that that ✋ So we've simplified things -- quite a bit! You may have noticed that now we have just three simple categories to post in now -- Introductions, Community, and Grow Together Tuesday. Check out the Start Here post to read up on how they work now, I think it'll be a lot more fun to post and share what we're up to now! Please feel free to head over to Community and start making posts to your hearts content! ❤️ We will add more categories overtime when the needs arise, but until then, just start sharing. Need some ideas? Here are some topics we'd love to see more of in our community (vote on the one you're gonna do next!)
