New garden blogs

New garden blogs: Jane Berger in Washington, D.C. writes to tell me about GardenDesignOnline, her Washington, D.C. blog about

... news, info, resources, book reviews and more on garden design, horticulture, and related subjects.

I'm a professional landscape designer and a journalist (I was a news correspondent for 20 yrs for the Voice of America, including assignments as White House, Pentagon, London, NYC, and Supreme Court correspondent -- before leaving in '96 to pursue landscape design.

(I can't tell you how many people here have fantasized about having the dual careers Jane has.) I can't wait to see what she does as the weather warms.

Prefers Full Sun: Sarah Waller in Lawrenceburg, Ind. is focusing right now on indoor gardening -- starting coleus from seed and rescuing 50-cent Christmas cactuses.. She's built a "green room":

Dec. 10: The green room in the basement is coming along! It consists of an old work desk with grow lights hanging over that, a wood bookcase for my supplies, and tomorrow Im going to rig up a watering/draining device. Ive been taking down all my violets, plants that are dormant, or sick or propogating plants. Right now Ive got plenty of room, but judging by how my plant collection grows Ill have to keep a close check on what I bring in. I might have to play with how close the plants are to the light, but so far so good.

Both blogs are welcome additions to the now-venerable Garden Blogs list

Seed catalogs are the best reading on a cold January night....
