Pinterest Has This Plant Geek's Back

I WAS SCROLLING through my most recent garden photos last night. There were photos that I've already posted and photos that weren't all that worthy of sharing... So I nixed posting any. But because it's been a week since I posted, I thought I should share something.  

This morning while blow drying my hair, it came to me. Hey, instead of posting plants I'm already growing, why not reveal my wish list? Why not share some of the dandies I'd like to grow in the future? I've been collecting photos. So, here you go. Check them out and see if there's a theme. Plants on Pinterest  And if you are already growing one or all of these and can offer some advice or where I can purchase, please let me know and I'll be eternally grateful. 

Also, over on my writing blog, I share a little tale of woe titled, The Perils of Gawking at Plants. If you've got a moment, click on the sidebar link and give a read. Hopefully this is something you haven't done yourself. 

The weather guy says we're going to have sunshine for the next several days. Hooray. October is the new September. 

Fine Gardening Has A Pinterest Page!

SHORT POST TODAY. If you're not familiar with Pinterest, I'm here to evangelize. I've been "pinning" to my boards for a few months now and I'm totally hooked. This morning with the daily Fine Gardening e-letter, came the announcement that Fine Gardening has a page. Talk about a gluttonous load of eye candy! If you're looking for inspiration, here's a great place to get some. 

Click on the link below to see what I'm talking about. It's easy to sign up. If you need an invitation, leave me a comment with your email and I'll send you a formal invite. 

Fine Gardening! 

Here is a sampling of the eye candy on this site! Ooh, la, la!

One more link:  if you're interested in photos of bookstore cats, click here. Totally cute!

As always, 

Thanks for visiting.

BeBop Garden & Pinterest

Ricki Grady, author of the entertaining book, BEBOP GARDEN has informed me that Amazon is running a two-day promotion. Today and tomorrow, January 24 and 25, 2012, you can download BEBOP GARDEN for FREE!  Just click on the link. Also I recently discovered that you don't need an e-reader to download books. Amazon has a free app you can download onto your computer that works just like an e-reader! So, if you haven't read this awesome, book by a kindred northwest gardener, now's the time. 

On another note, one of the authors of the blog, Writer Unboxed wrote a delightful post on ways authors can use Pinterest for book publicity. Although my book isn't published, I've been "pinning" photos of some of the haunts of my younger years which are written about in my "book." If you click on the link and look at the Hawaii and Oregon boards you'll see some of them. This is a work in progress. I'll let you know when it's finished. (If it ever is. LOL) 

As always,
