[edit] Needs photo

The people demand a picture. -Mikedelsol 22:46, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

We had photos previously, but some "free content" editors removed them. Badagnani 22:47, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Name

Does the name refer to the Biblical story of Job? I'm not sure, but if it does, that's something interesting that could beef up the etymology section. Meelar (talk) 23:09, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

I think you're probably right about that. Do you have access to the Oxford English Dictionary (the big, multivolume one) in a local library? You could check the entry and add information accordingly. That dictionary probably has the best info about this. Badagnani 00:07, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removed text on how to garden

I removed the following text from the article:

Before planting the seeds, they must be soaked water for a day in order to soften the seed coat and stimulate faster germination. Plant them in dry to average soil in a sunny spot after all frost danger has passed, or start them indoors in early spring, four to five weeks before the last frost is due."
