Hopefully it will be automatic, if its too tricky it'll be optional with a 1 button click on the respective wiki page to add yourself to the list of growers.
One challenge I see are innocent mis-spellings and names new to the wiki in general. It is hard to beat the user-friendliness of the free-text input area in the user profile field: I would keep that. But internally, for both wiki-updates and profile display, you might want to split the user list into known and unknown "records". This might help you and the user as well.

Jarred, whatever direction you take on this we'll all appreciate it.

Once it is to your liking, perhaps an "other plants" field ... or even more daring: "other fruits and veggies" and "ornamentals" fields?
