I'm assuming that most of the plants used require little water, but I always like to know if it is a xeric-type plant or if it needs more regular watering. Also, the kind of soil or drainage, to me, is important and whether it needs full sun or not. We have a lot of fir trees that shade most of our yard, and if a vegetable can withstand shade during part of the day, that is a benefit to me.

Careful, we'll be asking you to re-create PFAF if we generate enough
suggestions... ;-)
Complete cross-referencing of common and Latin names would be nice to
have.
Hardiness will be in degrees F and/or C?
Other thoughts, mostly for perennials:
growth pattern/rate (e.g. typ. size/shape and time to get there)
time to bearing
years of bearing
longevity
shade percentage under canopy
N-fixer or not?
Soil/nutrient preferences
OK, I'll stop now...
What technology are you using to implement the online DB?
cheers,
