No, actually it started before that when I moved to the last place where we lived.
We moved in spring, and of course, I was busy turning a burr bush weed patch into a garden, but whenever I had to go downtown I would choose the scenic route to get there. I would tour my neighborhood to view some of what I knew must be Owen Sound's best gardens. When there were no impatient cars behind me I would slow right down and enjoy my driving garden tour.
I often thought of stopping to talk to a gardener along the way, but I never did.
Back to the present and my new found favorite e-community, Blotanical. I had no idea there was one site where I could find so many garden blogs from literally all parts of the world. I started checking out a few of the garden blogs, occasionally commenting or picking a favorite.
One gardener sent me a message back. I had commented on her beautiful blog and she had seen where I was from. "Where abouts in Owen Sound are you?" she asked.
Believe it or not, from a community of thousands of gardeners from all over the world, I had connected with a gardener not only from my own town but from one of those beautiful gardens in my old neighborhood.
If your path should lead to Blotanica be sure to look me up there at my plot
