Greengirl: First-time gardener and jade plant killer is a web designer for a Minnesota newspaper. She has started a blog associated with said newspaper asking for gardening advice. She’s already gotten over a hundred comments from advice givers, some of whom are writing back to exchange information with other commenters. I had a lot of fun reading the comments, especially the one from her mother, which started out, “How come you never tell me when you get published?” Check it out, and give your own advice!

Well, I have been looking for a blog in which I can discuss Jade Plants; I am really interested in these remarkable plants. Having said this, have I possibly found such a site?
Lou.
Hey Kathy! Thank you so much for linking to my blog. We had the link on the front page of the site, but now it is on the front page of the Homes section. I was hoping for 25 responses, I guess Minnesotans really like their gardening.
Question: Have you ever entered anything in the state fair?
I imagine readers of the newspaper. But when I went to the main page of the newspaper’s online site, I couldn’t figure out how anyone would navigate to the blog.
that’s amazing. where did all those comments come from?
