First, CONGRATULATIONS! You amaze me with all of your accomplishments.

My questions:
“Which do you find more satisfying – garden writing or garden blogging?”

“If you HAD to give up one, which would it be and why?”

Looking forward to our visit!
Your forever friend,
Cynthia

Hello – I’m not sure I’ve introduced myself to you yet but I’ve been reading CCG since before I started blogging in April of this year. Thank you for your work! When you started blogging did you have any idea how popular the medium would become and did you already have faithful readers to write to? (as opposed to sending your voice out into the ether not knowing if it would be heard) Also, do you ever feel caught between gardening and blogging? Which do you do when both are calling to you?

Actually, I’m not so interested in the blogging as I am in the garden connection. Would you speak about where the garden was when you started the blog, and where it is now on the blog’s 5-year anniversary?

Also, how has keeping records for and writing the blog affected the way you garden?

Your friendliness, attention to detail, and above the curve tech ability in blogging has impressed me from the start.

I would like to know if you had an overall plan or if one developed in the making of your blog?

which came first- the blogging or the garden writing?

and how did you get started in garden writing?

along with Stu I’d love to know where you are taking your garden blog into the future. What have you dropped from the agenda and what do you plan to start in this endeavor?

Congratulations on your 5 years of blogging! You are an inspiration to me on many levels. Particularly because you keep us all happy with your gardening comments and have the great joy of managing a classroom as well.
