Stock lines are now linked both ways: cultivar names on a nursery page go to that cultivar's profile, and nursery names on a cultivar page go to that nursery's listing. Sold out lines also note when a variety is in stock at other nurseries, nursery and cultivar cards are now clickable anywhere on the card, and we fixed a layout bug where some pages scrolled sideways on phones.
