Add ways to avoid/filter out inactive plants from community garden [Feature Request] #114

Recent discussion on the community message board has lead to many expressing their desire to filter out inactive plants from the community garden. Many would like to focus on caring for other active members plants instead of long abandoned ones. Currently, there is no way to tell between an active users plant and inactive users plant. Several great suggestions have been made such as adding a "Last time [owner] watered" line and creating the option to filter out inactive plants from the community garden. 3 months without user activity is a reasonable timeframe from which point a plant becomes "inactive", but thats just my opinion.

I would also like to see an "active" scoreboard along side the "all-time" board.

Many users would like to see extremely inactive plants to be removed, other users would like to continue watering the plants indefinitely regardless. Adding the option to filter out inactive plants would be a good middle ground.

Thanks for the issue writeup!

I added the "Last time [owner] watered" notification if it has been over 7 days.

I don't want to filter out inactive plants, but I've been thinking of doing something like a ranked ladder that resets every few months so those who want to compete for the leaderboard can start on equal footing.
