Why does something with 4 stars show above something with 5 stars in the Top 10?
I am using the Bayesian weighted average system for the Top 10. So something which has 20 votes with an overall rating of 4.9 will show above something with an overall rating of 5 but with only 1 vote. This does not mean that something with a high number of votes will always show above something with a lower number of votes...only if it also has a high rating. The weighted averages are updated every hour.
 
Adding Plant Names
For now, registered users may add plant names from the bottom of a display category. For example, to add a Patio Tomato you would go to Vegetables->Tomatoes->Patio/Container Tomatoes before you would see a link for adding a plant. Please make sure a plant is in the correct category, is not a duplicate and is spelled correctly, before adding it.
