    Hi all,

    Sometimes it is nice to browse through random content on the site other than the most recent discussions and activity. However it can be a bit tiresome wading through to find it.

    Well it just got easier thanks to the shiny new dice in the main menu:
    [​IMG] "Roll me :)"

    Now random content is just one click away. Rolling the dice may bring you to a forum topic, blog entry, photo or even a plant. Exciting! And it could return something as far back as 2005.

    Warning: may be addictive.

    Yep, this could become the thing to do when we can't garden this winter. Really fun.

    Glad you like it. Somtimes I forget how much content there is on the Stew. This is helping me remember (and scaring me).

    Frank, you keep coming up with great ideas to keep us returning (or just staying on) GardenStew! I think you are what they call an "enabler" but in the nicest sense of the word.

    Thanks. All I ask is that you don't neglect your garden duties because of it!

    I've rolled the dice a few times. I've come up with EJ twice now. Lovely vacation pictures, too, EJ. Thanks! But, I'm a little sad to see all the people who are not posting now. I hope they are missing us.
