Yes, and I have nominated KP about 40 times for every category!

That is a tough one
There are quite a few bloggers out there who satisfy both, I think.
Colleen, I’ve always been disappointed that the Webbie Award creators didn’t see fit to give Gardening its own category, so I’m glad to see you’ve picked up the slack. I plan on considering my nominations very carefully. Hmm . . . who would I want for a gardening neighbor, the nicest blogger or the one with the best plants to swap with?
