the comment that grew….

my dear friend,

so far i have found that the “reality”of someone’s world always shows
up in the “better” garden blogs; the ones that will surely go on and
enjoy a long and fertile life.
they are full of information, interesting stories,
shared successes and failures, and those over-the-fence relationships
that are so valuable, and often missing in this move-around world.
i dont want didactic instructions on the proper orderly way to
do things in the garden( am still a sloven %} i want dialog and fresh
talk with a community of fellow diggers that i can really communicate with,
if only in this E-world. your blog contains all the ingredients for xtreme longevity!!
although with cyber-communication disintegrating into
smaller and smaller byts-like twitter- we may evolve into a
world of textspeak that cannot be imagined.
YPSSG, LUMI, LOL, – joanne-

    interesting that you mention twitter in this way. I was reading today that twitter has been making inroads (they said ‘cannibalizing’) in blog communications displacing the give and take of links and discussion. In a sort of “throwaway” manner. What you say you want is what many of us are hoping for: meaningful social interaction that might even hark back to the “salon” of nineteenth century Paris. An exciting exchange of ideas.

    Yet I can’t help myself when entering “hot-to” mode since that is what I always liked so well from garden writers -although I know I bog down with didactic droning at times. I think you help remind me of the kind of conversation I enjoy…instead of what I think I ought to enjoy;)

    PS I know you are somewhat new to blogging (the garden variety anyway) and thought to invite you to share your own thoughts on some of this ‘elevator pitch’stuff if you have an inclination that way, yet.
    If you check out the garden mission statement exercise awhile back (or start fresh!) the idea is to consolidate your thinking about what you hope for something to be in the long run. It helps focus the energies.

    I was going to try to make a “personal mission” a couple years ago, but couldn’t seem to accomplish that.
