    "Fruits, Nuts and Blueberries" suggests that Blueberries are something other than fruits.... "Blueberry and Other Fruits, Nuts Garden Forum" is my preference....

    I chose the last one, Backyard orchards & gardens, to allow a broader number of topics, including vegetable gardening.

    But, hey, who's campaigning?

      Might as well call it Hershell's Garden Forum.

      I appreciate the addition, as I do grow blueberries and figs, but I grow fruit trees, herbs, even ornamentals, so a broader forum fits my needs better.
      So yeah I prefer the last one too. Although on other forums we have small farmers too, so backyard might be too specific to attract them.

            But what about people who have fruits and nuts in their front yard?

            We don't want to alienate front yard growers.

            Backyard/Front yard fruits and nuts.

            Good point, and there is the "side" yard.

            We have over 1000 members, 300 of us are active and we have a whopping 36 votes..... Democracy in action I guess.

              Wasn't being a jerk, just saying that the 36 votes might be a substantial majority of the participants in that sub forum.

              Hopefully people that participate in the fig forum grow other things as well. Peaches, apples, carrots, Goji berries... whatever. It will now cover everything but figs.

              It doesn't really matter what it's called... I'm going to discuss vegetables there. Tomatoes, chilies and Squash are fruits too.

                I grow all kinds of hot ones, Growing Carolina Reaper, Blue Mystery, Black Pearl, Orange and red tree habanero this year.
                Also growing many green chiles, my favorite for various Tex Max dishes. All Nu Mex cultivars, Big Jim, 6-4, and Joe E Parker. Also Big Jim Legacy which is a very nice one! Besides them I have growing this year, Lunch Box, Poblano211, Tennessee Cheese, Carmine, and Beaver Dam.

              Same here. There will be discussions of pawpaws, elderberries, persimmons...whatever I'm growing. As well as my efforts and progress at turning my farm into a permaculture space.

                It's a close one. Only one vote separating the leader.

                    This is for Hershell only....NO ONE ELSE READ THIS!

                    Ok Hershell, we're good....what are your methods for extra votes....it's not taking mine...you're secret is safe with me....even Wills will respect the above line and not cross it with his eyes! Certainly he won't make you a pink pony again.

                  Doesn't look like any of them will get 270 electoral votes. Will this get thrown into the House?

                          In case of a tie, the option receiving the fewest number of votes among all options receiving at least one vote shall be the option deemed the winner.

                          (Those obscure election rules can provides some interesting surprises.)
