I used to post daily but it was too much work and affecting my birding and gardening hours.....SOOOO less blogging and more fun:) I'm glad you continue to blog. You share a lot of wonderful tips about plants, gardening, and ideas(like the chicken pen, etc). All of it is good stuff. Weather vs. plants. The experiences of having chickens....racoons:) <br /><br />I would be sad if you stopped blogging. I may not comment often, but I do follow your work. It bothers me as well when a blogger disappears without saying good-bye. I've recently come to experience the joys of meeting my cyber friends in person and it was incredible. One of those cyber friends is now a real friend. We are a community and that's what I love about it. I hope to blog until I can't anymore. I hope you feel the same.

I'm looking forward to another year of gardening - and blogging. I have often looked for other Tyler or East Texas gardeners, and have only found a few, so I think perhaps you are correct about us being a link to anyone that is looking for regional information.HolleyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892421871044249940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876534142667059931.post-38910669018356686322013-01-17T10:17:52.716-06:002013-01-17T10:17:52.716-06:00What?

Of course I am not anxious to post photos of my overgrown garden, and did in fact begin to wonder if I should in fact go back to posting. I live in a very sparsely populated area so your numbers don't apply, but I know how grateful I was to find anything written about tropical plants when I first started a garden in this climate. I guess there might be others like me who want to know more about tropical plants, and will find the information on my blog useful. . africanaussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660727599623626163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876534142667059931.post-87916841785060633972013-01-13T15:01:14.350-06:002013-01-13T15:01:14.350-06:00That's wonderful to hear David and put a smile...That's wonderful to hear David and put a smile on our faces :)Mark and Gazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09427245730390252976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876534142667059931.post-10503277348408140152013-01-13T11:55:14.280-06:002013-01-13T11:55:14.280-06:00Excellent points David!

I have come to think of many of those whose blogs I follow closely or who drop by mine and take the time to leave a comment as friends. When someone suddenly drops off the radar, for a time you think they are away on holidays and then as you said, you do sometimes worry that something has happened. I love our community of garden bloggers. There aren't that many of us, especially those of us with a more tropical bent, so keep up the good work!Marisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07414496377660313372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876534142667059931.post-59042535029149439232013-01-13T01:15:35.010-06:002013-01-13T01:15:35.010-06:00Loved your train of thought there.

I only started less than two years ago but I read some advise on your blog that I really appreciated. That was to give the scientific names of plants as well as the local common name. It has really opened up my blog to international visitors interested in tropical gardening.
