New garden blogs
Just My Garden is growing catnip right now, in Wisconsin:
After the plants have grown a few inches, pinch back the shoots to promote bushy growth. It will first bloom in mid summer. After harvest, trim back the plants again. With luck, you will get three harvests in a season.
How does she keep the cats from munching it all away? I had to put my catnip plants in a hanging basket, where the "boys" couldn't get to it. While they were in little pots on the porch they were nearly defoliated.
Arboreality - Tree Blogging. (link fixed) Jade Blackwater writes,
Arboreality (is) a blog about trees, forests, and other plants, currently based in the Philadelphia area of Pennsylvania. I recently relocated from the Seattle area of Washington, leaving behind my gardens to quietly go wild among the evergreens until my return.
While it is my hope to put down roots and begin gardening (and garden blogging) here in Pennsylvania, I've found myself more than busy learning and blogging about all the unique trees on the east coast, so different from the evergreens I grew up with in the Pacific Northwest.
This blog has the greenest photos I've ever seen.
In My Backyard: Beverly of Des Moines, Iowa, has roses and clematis in bloom now. Some are doing well, some not so well.
