Yup, another gardening blog

By Kathy Purdy February 17, 2005 – Posted in: Recommended Links

Don Bolin emailed today to inform me of An Iowa Garden, his not-quite-two-week-old gardening blog. He claims he started it “mainly to use my new digital camera,” and he takes some pretty good pictures. His very first post is an awesome photo of a snowdrop, one of the most dramatic I’ve ever seen. (Yeah, he’s got snowdrops blooming. Sigh.) But he’s obviously quite passionate about gardening, and can be pretty funny, too. Guaranteed to relieve boredom!

In its own way, frost may be one of the most beautiful things to happen in your garden all year . . . Don’t miss it. Like all true beauty, it is fleeting. It will grace your garden for but a short while this morning. . . . For this moment, embrace frost as the beautiful gift that it is.
