Blog Profiles: Gardening Blogs, Volume 1

Garden Blogs

Welcome to Blog Profiles! Each week, we select an industry or subject and a handful of sites that do a good job with promoting and blogging about the space. Do you have a blog that deserves recognition? Tell us why @BeyondBylines.

OK, folks. This post is dedicated to my garden friends and family – green thumbs everywhere who log countless hours weeding, pinching, deadheading, mulching, composting, planting, and transplanting – things that will make their gardens a better place.

And for those less green-thumb-like, please bear with me. I’ve literally been itching to write this one.

I am a plant addict. My name is Christine.

The garden blogs I uncovered this week – with the assistance of some trusted garden gurus – are a brilliant, quirky, and information-packed group.

Gardening is clearly one of our favorite blog topics. View Volume 2, Volume 3, and Volume 4 for even more green-thumb-friendly content.

1. Danger Garden

warns readers to be “careful, you could poke an eye out.”

Portland garden blogger Loree, partner and communications director at Plant Lust, is the brains and voice behind Danger Garden.

Danger Garden recently tweeted this [frighteningly accurate] bit: “Real gardeners are bound to get caught by the neighbors gardening in pajamas sooner or later.”

Thanks to Loree’s solid writing and photography, I now want this plant, sedum ochroleucum ‘Crested Centaurus’ is my favorite plant in the garden (this week). I also found myself in awe of the galvanized garden goodness found in #12. (Brilliance. And now, I’d like to reconsider every bed that I’ve carved into the yard to see how I might manage a zillion compact, metallic tubs.)

2. A Way to Garden

A Way to Garden is the “latest horticultural incarnation” of Margaret Roach, who has been writing about gardening for 25-plus years. She was the first garden editor of Martha Stewart’s “Living.”

Roach launched her site in March 2008. You also can catch her on her public-radio podcast each week.

I like A Way to Garden because it covers a ton of information: Plants, recipes, how-tos, when to start seed, chores by month, FAQs, and freezing and canning.

Her Tomato-Growing FAQs covered many questions I’ve had about this awesome fruit. Last year, I did quite well with a couple varieties of cherry tomatoes. But heirloom? I’ve never even thought to include them in my veg patch.

I also enjoyed the wrap up of hot topics of conversation from my May 10 open garden day. And the pictures? Good heavens. (Incidentally, if I happen to be in Copake Falls, NY on June 7, I will certainly drop in to Roach’s garden tour plus wildflower talk with author Carol Gracie.)

3. You Grow Girl

You Grow Girl presents “gardening for the people.”

The site was launched by writer and photographer Gayla Trail in Feb. 2000.

It has grown into a “thriving project that speaks to a new kind of gardener, seeking to redefine the modern world relationship to plants. This contemporary, laid-back approach to organic gardening places equal importance on environmentalism, style, affordability, art, and humour.”

This gorgeous recipe made me equally hungry and curious: soft eggs on a bed of spring garden vegetables. I also read with fascination about the tiniest clematis you ever did see and how to test the germination rate of your old seeds. (Truth be told, I’m terrible with seeds. I overthink them. I need to stop that.)

Follow @yougrowgirl on Twitter.

4. GardenRant

GardenRant is the work of a handful of “highly opinionated gardeners.”

It’s been online since June 2006 and “quickly developed a following among garden bloggers, garden writers and editors, and landscape nursery business professionals.” The site also features a good selection of guest rants from outside contributors.

GardenRant’s feature categories are pretty amusing: Shut up and dig, Science says, Crrritic!, Tune in, Ministry of controversy, and Feed me.

I found pretty interesting Megan Cain’s guest rant stop tilling your vegetable garden. I also love that the blog keeps readers up to date on important news items like the U.S. Botanic Garden’s search for a new executive director in DC.

    I had a home for many years in the Luberon region of France, where I became enamored of the light, the food and, of course, the gardens. I now live in Florida, and when renovating, I wanted to bring a bit of Provence into my home and garden. Imagine my joy when I walked into Authentic Provence in West Palm Beach (also online at http://authenticprovence.com). The owners have sourced the most incredible French and Italian garden antiques and products: statues, fountains, planters (note especially the classic Caisse de Versailles, and Anduze pottery), terra cotta shields, stone animals, copper pots, garden spouts, and on and on. They have created an environment that took me right back to many afternoons spent in the beautiful homes and gardens of Provence. They are also very helpful in giving advice and even sourcing special items, and can arrange shipping anywhere in the USA. I highly recommend this business!

      I’m recommending Dr Osato to everyone who has herpes simplex virus to get the cure from him. I was diagnosed with genital herpes in 2019 and i have been searching and asking questions to see if i could get something to cure the disease because i did not believe what the doctors say that no cure is found yet. I came across a comment on Youtube and the person testified how she was cured from herpes and hpv after using Dr Osato herbal medicine. I quickly contacted Dr Osato and explained my problem to him and he prepared the herbs and sent it to me through UPS and gave me instructions on how to use it and told me to go for checkup after usage which i did after two weeks of taking the herbal medicine and my result was NEGATIVE. I waited another month and retested, the result was still NEGATIVE and my doctor told me that I am completely free from herpes. Am so happy and grateful to Dr Osato for what he has done for me and i will continue to share this for people out there to know that there is a cure for herpes. You can contact Dr Osato on email and WhatsApp to get the cure from him. Email: [email protected] and WhatsApp +2347051705853

    عزل الأسطح هو عملية تهدف إلى تقليل انتقال الحرارة والرطوبة والضوضاء من الخارج إلى الداخل أو العكس، من خلال تطبيق مواد عازلة على سطح البناء. يعتبر العزل الجيد للأسطح أمرًا حاسمًا في تحسين كفاءة استهلاك الطاقة والحفاظ على راحة وجودة الحياة داخل المباني.
    توفر عملية عزل الأسطح العديد من الفوائد. فبفضل العزل الحراري، يمكن تقليل انتقال الحرارة من الخارج إلى الداخل في فصل الصيف، مما يقلل من حاجة استخدام أنظمة التكييف ويوفر استهلاك الطاقة. وفي فصل الشتاء، يمنع العزل الحراري انتقال الحرارة من الداخل إلى الخارج، مما يحسن كفاءة أنظمة التدفئة ويوفر تكاليف التدفئة.
    بالإضافة إلى العزل الحراري، يمكن أيضًا تطبيق عزل مائي للأسطح لمنع تسرب المياه والرطوبة إلى داخل المبنى، مما يحمي من التلف الناجم عن تسرب الماء ويقلل من مخاطر تكون العفن والبكتيريا.
    أما بالنسبة للعزل الصوتي، فيمكن استخدام مواد عازلة لتقليل انتقال الضوضاء والصوت غير المرغوب فيه من الخارج إلى الداخل أو بين الغرف داخل المبنى، مما يعزز الهدوء والراحة الصوتية في البيئة الداخلية.
    عملية عزل الأسطح تتطلب مهارات وخبرة في تحديد واختيار المواد العازلة المناسبة وطرق التطبيق الصحيحة. ينبغي الاعتماد على مقاولين محترفين ومتخصصين في تنفيذ عملية العزل لضمان الحصول على نتائج فعالة ومستدامة.
