I love seeing another area of Texas, and the plants that grow there, through your blog. My daughter recently moved to San Antonio, and I've told her to use your blog as a reference for what to grow. :) HolleyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892421871044249940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-65177047742188528792013-10-08T06:06:11.012-05:002013-10-08T06:06:11.012-05:00Happy blogversary!

Your garden is getting better all the time. I have to laugh when you say it wouldn't look as good without a blog. Me too! I work so much harder knowing that I'm going to have 'visitors' to my garden each time I post. But I love it.

And I look forward to your seven year itch post! <br />I started writing about my garden on my website in 1999, long before blogs were invented (I think, not sure when they started to appear), but then I discovered cookery blogs. I thought I would have a go at making a blog too and I wrote about all sorts of things in the beginning. I later on joined Blotanical and so was my gardening blog borne. Never visited a single gardening blog before I made my own – guess I started the wrong way around!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your story about how you started your blog, all the best for the future!HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-51109053899537373722013-10-05T03:58:59.970-05:002013-10-05T03:58:59.970-05:00Shirley, congratulation!

I garden in a different climate with different plants, but I share you enthusiasm for native plants and natural landscaping.

San Antonio (and Austin and beyond) NEEDED your blog. You give us not only helpful and inspiring information about gardening in south-central Texas but an insider's peek into the larger gardening community. That was missing in S.A. before Rock-Oak-Deer came along. Now you're the one doing the inspiring, helping other local gardeners see what can be achieved in our extreme gardening climate.
