What better time to start a garden blog than winter. Writing about gardening is a distraction from the northern chill outside. It’s an opportunity to reflect on the last eight months in my garden and make decisions about what to do in the year ahead. I know there are hundreds, perhaps thousands of garden blogs, so why one more?
I am blogging as a personal challenge, a journey into something new. I love and have a passion for gardening. Plus, I want and need to experience social media first hand.

You are off to a great start! Your photography is beautiful, and it is always a pleasure to read comments from a fellow hosta lover.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new winter activity.
Robyn,
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I forgot to ask how I could add to your blog on Woodchucks. I have had several experiences successfully catching them. How can I add to you blog?

How exciting - comments! I forgot to check if there were comments and just got to reading these. Thank you for the feedback. Hostanana, as you can imagine, I will have a series of posts over time about hosta. I only hope I can keep the blog topics balanced over time as hosta does consume a large portion of my gardening efforts.
ReplyDeleteDick, I would love to feature your experiences on woodchucks. Send me an email and we'll talk.
I think you have a lovely blog that other bloggers will enjoy. Your photographs are great, and your gardens wonderful.
