[08:32:10]<mstenta>farmBOT: tell noe Hi, you asked about planting name vs crop/variety name. You can be as specific or general as you want with both, but the crop/variety should be the general and the planting should be the specific. For example: a crop/variety might be "Winterbor Kale" and a planting might be "2017 Spring Winterbor Kale" because the planting is the specific thing in the ground, whereas the crop/variety is the "type" of that
[08:32:10]<farmBOT>mstenta: I'll pass that on when noe is around.
[08:32:10]<mstenta>planting
[08:33:15]<mstenta>farmBOT: tell noe ... But, if "Winterbor" is the ONLY type of Kale you're growing, you might find it easier to call your planting "2017 Kale", because you don't need to differentiate it from other Kales in your main plantings list.
[08:33:15]<farmBOT>mstenta: I'll pass that on when noe is around.
[08:33:56]<mstenta>farmBOT: tell noe So its best to name your plantings in a way that will be most useful to you during the season, to tell it apart from other plantings.
[08:33:56]<farmBOT>mstenta: I'll pass that on when noe is around.
[08:34:32]<mstenta>farmBOT: tell noe Ultimately when the season is over you will mark your plantings as "inactive" so they are archived, but your "Crops/Varieties" can be referenced in future plantings (or in other plantings in the same season).
