2 Years

Well 2 years ago yesterday My Garden, My Hobbies was born.  2 Years ago this past Memorial Day my garden was created.  A lot has happened in these last 2 years.  Good bad and other wise, but mostly good.  Today I did a little house keeping in the gardens....plucked out a few weeds, watered some newly planted herbs.....even gave a few herbs a hair cut.  Pictures were as always taken to document what was going on.

For my other blogging gardeners I am sure it is the same we look at the pictures each year and see when certain flowers bloomed.  I know I like to see did these 4 O'Clocks bloom the first week in June last year or was it in May?  And for spreading perennials like these 4 O'Clocks how much bigger is the patch than last year?  Did they just multiply or multiply and spread?

There have been a lot of posts lately about whether blogging is dying or not....not just garden blogging but blogging in general.  I know that for the ones I read it's not.  I like blogging about my garden.  I love showing it off and telling others what is going on.  My real journal though....thats my pictures.  Today I plan to spend the day organizing my pictures.  Like plants in the same folder separated maybe by year.....not sure how I want to go about it yet but I will figure it out.....I learn more about my garden through my pictures...

Have a wonderful weekend and take a picture of your garden this weekend....then look back over the years and see what has changed.

Happy Birthday IrishGarden's

1 year ago today My Garden, My Hobbies was born.  Simply called My Garden at the time but the blog has certainly changed and evolved over the year.  My follower count has slowly climbed from the initial  0 to 42.  Still low compared to other blogs I read but that doesn't bother me.  Write it and they will read.....eventually.  I never would have thought that a year ago I would have been still blogging today.  That my garden would still be green today.  I used to kill almost everything that I touched.  If it was planted outside it may have made it.

I have learned a lot over this year thanks to google and other blogs as well as my ever growing library of books. Thank you to all my loyal readers and even to those who stop in every so often.  To those that comment thanks it's nice to see that I have new comments it lets me know someone read my post and liked it.

So here is to and another year of fun and adventures in the garden and writing about them.
