Dear Readers

| 5 Comments

Since this is the beginning of a New Year (2010 woot,woot!), I was hoping for input from the readers and passers-by of this blog. What would give you more pleasure and value from coming to this journal? If you would please take time to comment and give whatever suggestion occur to you, I would love to take them into consideration as I plant the direction of the posts here.

Thanks for all the readership and support of this year. Comments, especially, make a blog worth reading and writing for me, so thanks so much for those who gave their most valuable resource -their time. Thank you for those who signed up as friends, and all the camaraderie of my fellow garden bloggers, too.

Thanks, as well, to Joanne for her touching and able writing, to John for his input, and many others, some who get mention here…. but all are appreciated:

  • T Opdycke
  • Lonadawn  
  • The Write Gardener,TC
  • Coneflower
  • Janet, Queen of Seaford
  • Elizabeth, EAL 
  • Trey 
  • Dee, Red Dirt Ramblings
  • Rob, Our French Garden 
  • MsRobin
  • Zach

…and all the rest of you that I might not have listed! May we have more link love in the coming year.
=========
The end of ’09 saw an increase in spammers here- so in getting rid of some of them, I accidentally deleted a comment or two that wasn’t supposed to go :(

I am so sorry for that, and will be more careful in the future- because as I said, comments from readers are one of the best things in the blog experience in my opinion.

Spammers are the bane of blogging.

    I get frustrated with the spammers. Such silliness. I look forward to reading (and commenting) in this new year. Happy New Year to you!

    Don’t change a thing, reading your blog has been such a pleasure. Thank you for mentioning me as a faithful reader. There are times when I’d rather skip about reading my favorite blogs than writing my own posts.

    Wishing you much blog success in the coming year.

Oh, hi there!

I was a garden blog pioneer, and began writing on this blog in 2003. Before that I had begun a garden website that has been at its own domain since 2006, Ilona's Garden.

I still love writing, gardening, and art after all these years, although travel and grandchildren have become a big part of my life, now.
