The weather this week has been beautiful.  Mostly sunny with the occasional cloud or even a shower.  Warm during the day, cool in the evening.  We've all been busy getting our seeds hardened, watching things bloom.  It really has been a nice week.  All the dogwoods here in Asheville are in full bloom.

With all of the beautiful weather and so much to do with seedlings and starts in the garden, you'd think nothing else would get done.  Work would suffer.  Although it has been hard to keep ourselves indoors at times, we Shovelpunks have been diligently improving things behind the scenes.

Today we've rolled out a few nice changes that we'd like to mention.  Overall, we're working hard to make the site easier to use and more intuitive.  In today's update you'll see small changes like this in the individual garden pages.  For example, Vanillalotus's Balcony Garden.

The biggest changes with today's update are on the member spotlight page.  The overall design and layout received a well-deserved face lift. 

We're also quite proud of our new member search feature.  Now you can search for other Greenthumbr members by name, location, zone or even plant!  For example, with search terms "7b spinach" will get you all the gardeners on Greenthumbr who are growing spinach in zone 7b.  It's a beautiful thing.  Please give it a whirl and let us know what you think.
