Mouse and Trowel Awards banner
Thank you one and all for nominating this blog for the Best Design of a Garden Blog category in the first annual Mouse & Trowel Awards. I confess I’ve always been a bit miffed at how garden blogs were so neglected in general blog awards, and I’m glad Colleen has taken the initiative and developed some awards we garden bloggers can call our own.

Voting is now open and will continue to May 11. Note: you don’t have to have a garden blog yourself to vote.

About the Author

Kathy Purdy is a colchicum evangelist, converting unsuspecting gardeners into colchicophiles. She gardens in rural upstate NY, which used to be USDA Hardiness Zone 4 but is now Zone 5. Kathy’s been writing since 4th grade, gardening since high school, and blogging since 2002. Find her on Instagram as kopurdy.

When dealing with frost it is always best to be paranoid. In the spring never think it is too late for one more frost to come. And in the fall never think it too early.

Congratulations, Kathy! I’ll bet you especially appreciate getting recognition for something you’ve really worked at… tweaking all the components to make it all work well!
