My Website

[keen101 (Biolumo / Andrew B.)]

I updated some of my website today. Specifically i updated the page about peas and the page about pea breeding. Some of the other stuff still needs some work, but i think both the pea pages have some nice pictures and descriptions and more interesting info now.

Let me know what you guy's think.

EDIT:
biolumo.com/garden/peas.html and biolumo.com/garden/pea_breeding.html

Its great. Well laid out and clear with lots of excellent pics. I also am impressed with how careful you've been to give credit the originators of the content and pics you're borrowing. Thats something that almost never gets done online.

Speaking of, I checked Rebsie's blog using the link you had. What happened to her?

Very nice work. I think I'll have to do that with the bean trial going forward. And the melons and the carrots....my life is full.

Thanks everyone. Yeah, the giving credit to photos that aren't mine is something I've recently begun to work on.

Not sure what happened to Rebsie. I'm sure she just got really busy with her music and book stuff. I'm hoping she returns to her blog in 2012. In some of her old posts it looks like in 2009 or something she took a similar year-long break from blogging because she got too busy. I'm assuming it's the same this time.

EDIT: from what i can tell Rebsie has recently updated her pea variety collection page to include potatoes and others. It sure looks like she's been busy. www.angelfire.com/az/garethknight/dots/varieties.html

I think it's top-notch, Dean. Very fascinating!

Yep..your list is looking good.
I've just been doing something similar myself. I've spent all day scribbling notes on paper .....and all my 50 differents peas are now together..just putting it all on puter is next job..
And then there is beans and tomatoes..and..and..
I keep promising myself taking photos too..but I'm always too busy tasting.. ;D

Nice beginning.
What is it like going from a blog to a static site?

I recently added wordpress to my site, and stopped doing much with the static pages... I'm sure there's a happy medium somewhere...

I want to see pics of the feral squash that you talk about on your index page...

[keen101 (Biolumo / Andrew B.)]

Thanks, it's mostly just a test bed right now. In the future it might transition into something better, or it might not. I think at this point i actually like the blog better, and the blog is easier to maintain. If the website wasn't static maybe it would be easier to maintain, but i haven't progressed to that point yet.

Ok, i'll try and post the pictures of the squash that Bobbi sent me. I haven't actually grown it myself yet, but i plan to this year. Okay, pictures should show up below (if they don't then my sever is probably down).

Very cool...
I think I've seen something similar offered at Baker Creek.

The "feral" part had me interested, I used to have naturalized veggies in my previous garden... All I had to do was pick them when I was ready to cook.

The new sand hill garden isn't there yet... And I'd really like it to be... Your shotgun watermelon approach sounds interesting.

Yeah, Bobbi told me that a friend of hers found the squash growing near a small stream and an old pueblo building (which she assumes was for food storage) in the Newspaper Rock area in Utah several miles off the beaten path in a heavy cottonwood area. Based on some of the carvings from the newspaper rock i estimate that the squash could possibly have been growing feral in that area for about 150 years. And if that's true it probably has some awesome genetics. Of course i did find an interesting story about a squash lady in New Mexico who has some squash that look very similar...

Thats so interesting to come across a squash growing wild for so long,looks so nice too ;D

Just wanted everyone to know that i've been updating my website today. So if you were looking for the pea page or the breeding page it has moved from biolumo.com/peas.html and biolumo.com/pea_breeding.html respectively to biolumo.com/garden/peas.html and biolumo.com/garden/pea_breeding.html

If you visit any of the old links you should now get a custom error page. I updated the error page with my web banner and a link to the homepage so you will know you at least reached the website fine.
