Well, 5 reasons (is that enough?)
1. I already do a gardening log (note the lack of the b), and it would be helpful to me to actually do it online.
2. I would like to be a writer (note to self: being a writer simply means spending time writing, you don't need to earn a living from it!), and this is a step in the right direction
3. In the future, our children will be able to access everything (and I mean everything) that we write online. I would like to talk to my children and grandchildren through the medium of the Internet. When they have the desire to do so, they will be able to search the records and up this will come. "Blimey, my grandad Alec wrote that!"
4. My dream is to be discovered. God knows doing what, but something that I am really good at. I actually think I am very good at writing, but I have never really put my soul into it. Well, perhaps now is the time.
5. I LOVE gardening. The more I think about it, the more I write about it, the more I do it, the happier I am.
So what makes a successful gardening blog?
1. I enjoy writing it
2. My grandchildren google it.
3. You read it (self fulfilling prophecy!)
I have 12 acres in the far south coast of New South Wales in Australia. We live not far from Bega, which is famous for its cheese.
So what kind of garden do I have? Young. Undeveloped. We moved into our current place about a year ago (july2012), and basically it was a field. Most of it still is. I will post some pics in the next post or 3, so you can see it. I guess I need pics more than anything, because when I read a blog, what I want to know is what it looks like. Are you the same? Bugger the knowledge, just show me what you've done!!
