Greetings, Gardeners!

Happy Spring, everybody!  I've been away from the blog for quite a while now and I've received several very kind emails wondering if I was okay and if indeed I was going to get the blog up and running again.  I'm fine, I promise, and I WILL be back to blogging all the time now, so stay tuned!  We've been working on re-designing the website, changing servers and various other things and were hoping to be able to re-launch the new website and pick up blogging again all at the same time--back in March.  The website re-vamp has taken much longer than I had hoped and the new site may not launch until early summer now, so I didn't want to stay away from the blog any longer!

I hope that spring is in full swing for you or if not, at least on its way!  For those of you who live in the southern hemisphere, I guess you're on your way into autumn!  No matter where you're gardening, I hope that your gardens have been beautiful and successful and I hope that you'll continue to follow along as we get into the full swing of gardening season here in the states.

A lot has been happening and I have been working away on many design projects and several fun publishing things, so will try to keep you posted.  For you Tennessee folks, I've had several articles in Tennessee Gardener magazine lately and occasionally those articles go regional in all of the State-by-State gardening magazines (I think there about 16 or 17 states, mostly in the south), so you may see me there.  We've also started filming for our new season of Volunteer Gardener, so again, if you're in Tennessee, we air statewide so check your local listings for airtime on your local PBS station.

I'm also supposed to have an article in Landscape Solutions magazine, which is one of the Better Homes & Gardens special interest publications, though I have to admit that I have not seen it yet.

I've been taking lots of spring photos, so be prepared for all kinds of fun new blog posts in the weeks to come.  Thanks so much for following along and happy gardening to everyone!

P.S.  I'm working on itineraries right now for our first garden tours, which I will organize and lead.  I'll keep you posted as those take shape!  Talk to you soon!
