Talking Dirty reborn

Once upon a time, there was a blog called Talking Dirty. It still exists, as a matter of fact, but it’s no longer being updated. Instead, Tamara has started a new blog called Can You Dig It? The design is certainly leaner and cleaner, and the content, at least, as much as I’ve read, is just as good. Oh yeah, and it’s YATGB (yet another Texas garden blog), which means she’ll be growing while it’s still snowing here. If you stop in, tell her Kathy sent you.

In the end, this may be the most important thing about frost: Frost slows us down. In spring, it tempers our eagerness. In fall, it brings closure and rest. In our gotta-go world–where every nanosecond seems to count–slowness can be a great gift. So rather than see Jack Frost as an adversary, you could choose to greet him as a friend.

Oh Great. That was another one of the first garden blogs that I came across.
