I started this blog and website as a way to still be involved in horticulture when I am a stay at home mom. But I have discovered several dillemas that is hindering me somewhat.

First a foremost, this is a gardening blog, and I don’t actually have a garden. That means there’s a little less to write about and take pictures of. Someday, I will not be living in a rental and have a yard. Right now, I do have access to a community garden, and I have my wilting house plants. I think I will also start some plants outside on the balcony when there’s not snow outside. (and I’m lucky to have a balcony). But then I will be moving in May or August, which might just ruin the chance I have to do anything next growing season.

Second, I do not have any blog followers. How do you get followers? I’ve been going off of “if you build it they will come,” but I doubt with the huge amount on the internet it will work. I’ve come up with two ideas, that I’m slowly working on. A)Comment on other people’s blogs and follow them. B)List blog in directories. I still don’t know if I will get people here, and with no one reading its little motivation to write. Also I am beginning to realized that there are a lot of gardening blogs out there. It’s hard to wade through them all and find the ones I like.

Lastly, it’s hard to get anything really done with a baby. But he’s cute enough it’s worth it.
