Favorite Gardening Blogs

My small garden

We’ve had a hot summer so far in the northeast and the tomatoes and cukes in my garden are loving it! After having a tough time last year with the full month of rain in June, I was reluctant to plant. But my neighbor came by with a rototiller and made the garden twice as big (yes, that’s it in the photo) so I felt like I had to try to grow something in the space.

I’m very glad I did. I’ve eaten a few cherry tomatoes and 3 cukes so far, but the larger tomatoes are numerous and all the plants are green and happy!

I do have to water quite a bit, and since the garden is small it doesn’t take long. We have well water here and live out in the middle of nowhere, so I’m not worried about a ban.

I don’t do a whole lot of blogging, but I do love to find excellent blogs and then I try to get by and see what they have been up to as much as I can.

There are a lot of gardening blogs out there, but I have found one of the best -imho- at “A Growing Tradition” which is written by Thomas who lives in Massachusetts.   I’ve mentioned his blog before, but truly, it’s amazing.  I believe that he lives to garden and his pictures and information are very helpful. He does a lot of neat stuff, like having a set-up in his basement to start seedlings, and useful information about where to purchase specialty garlic and such.  He even grows his own lemons (indoors) and cooks some mouthwatering dishes.

Another favorite is one I’ve come across recently at Nourishing Words where the writer also posts wonderful photos and has healthy recipes and gardening advice. I like the fact that she lives close to me, in Concord, New Hampshire.

So if you are looking for good blogs to visit, …there ya go. And thanks for reading mine.
