Some painful combo of Trumpet Winsock/Win 3.1/Netscape at that time if I wanted more than just lynx, all received via xmodem from the local ISPs shell server using Telix. No Google, maybe help from the local NNTP group.

I do remember this project, and using it for maybe a few weeks. They did track seeds and watering, there were limits to prevent a specific area from being watered too frequently. I don't remember much else.

This is forgetting university students who often had non-dialup access to the Net from computer labs (I even had access to the Net, which was basically just telnet, ftp, and Usenet, in the late 1980s as an undergrad).
