Think about gardening before gardeners are already harvesting their tomatoes. Actually, I would like to do some planning--real, authentic might-make-me-break-out-in-hives-because-I-hate-real-planning planning--in the next couple of weeks. But I've been avoiding it because, well, I suspect I might break out in hives. And I haven't quite decided whether I would rather have hives or a lovely, thriving garden.
(Resolution 3.5: Solve the mystery of how to successfully use strikethrough text in this blogger dashboard. Even copying and pasting won't work! If anyone out there can help me out on that point, I would be forever indebted to you. Well, maybe not forever.)
This will be my third year for a vegetable garden, and I can hardly believe it! Well, it might only be my second on the technicality that last year's was almost a total bust. Which is one very valid reason for Resolution #3. It's a good thing our garden turned out pretty well the first year, otherwise I'm not sure we would have planted anything the second year.
Justin and I have also been talking about making a bed in the middle of the front yard and even made an attempt at starting last fall. This is the project that would need the most planning because I simply have no idea where to even begin to choose and map out what to plant. Trees? Bushes? Flowers? Greenery? Stuff that looks pretty in Spring, Summer, and/or Fall? Please send help.
No really. Please send help. I've been trying to track down some good landscaping/gardening blogs, but so far they are proving hard to find. I'm wondering if this is because there are only so many gardening tips a person can post before running out of material. But I would love to see a gardening blog that follows the same pattern as a decorating/design blog...one that is always linking to other bloggers and ideas and always has something seasonal to show. Surely something like this exists? Anyone know of any such blog?
In the meantime, these are a few of the gardening blogs I have found that look like they have some promise in the way of basic information, which I am still hoping to explore further:

I would love more ideas, though!

strikethroughs...easy!
On your post page, click on the HTML tab (its located on the upper right corner of the body of your post...you'll also see "compose" as another tab). Just to the left of the word or phrase you want to do the strikethrough type < strike > or < s > and just to the right of it < /strike > or < /s >
ex: This is totally < strike >hard< /strike > easy!
(Oh, and because the comments don't want to take my html advice, I inserted spaces between the < and >...haha, which makes me laugh because of an earlier post you had this week about spaces.)
Make sense? Hope that helps.
Oh, and I'm right there with you in wanting to find more gardening blogs in similar nature to all the amazing interior design blogs.
A revelation! Thank you so much, Kaylie, for educating me on this elusive subject. :)
