A Year With Blotanical

I had an anniversary yesterday celebrating at being
one year on Blotanical.
When I first started blogging in the Fall of 2007 I
could only find a few people through on line search
engines for those who were interested in gardening.
Then I happened upon one of those blogs to see the
logo for Blotanical and found a place dedicated to
gardening. Thank you Kylee!
I registered and checked it out and have
enjoyed the experience so much.

It was so good to see all of those wonderful, giving
and knowledgeable gardeners who had blogs. I felt
right at home and a kinship with them.
Through it I have found some wonderful friends who
have taught me so much.
I am so thankful that Stuart started Blotanical and made
a home for all of us who have a passion for gardening
and nature.



Thank You Blogger Buddies and,
Happy Gardening Everyone!

Blotanical Withdraw Symptoms

Where O' Where are you? Where have you Gone!

Are we experiencing technical difficulties?

Is my computer net working system on the blink?

Somebody's got to do something!!

I have not been able to get onto Blotanical for two day's now
and as bad as it may sound I do believe I am going into Blotanical
withdraw mode.




What is Blotanical you may or may not ask.
Founded by Stuart Robinson of "Gardening Tips 'n Ideas" from
western Australia.
It is a community and networking site where gardeners interact with
other gardeners from all over the world and put their gardens up for all to see.
It is the place where gardeners and garden bloggers go to interact and share
their experiences, knowledge, triumphs and even failures with other
garden enthusiast's. You do not have to be a blogger or even have a garden
to enjoy Blotanical. If you love flowers and nature or wish you had a garden,
then Blotanical will bring you all of this and photographs from every corner of
our world.
I joined in July of 2008 and since that time have been able to learn so
much from fellow gardeners who have shared their knowledge and friendship.
I have been able to see and learn about flowers and plants from all over the
world. I tried finding garden bloggers by search engines but few showed
up. Then I happened across a reference to Blotanical from an Ohio garden
blog and decided to join. I found it all and more on one site and did not
have to bog down my favorites feature with listings of blogs.
It is where the joy and peace that gardening brings is shared with
others and those who are addicted to plants get their fix.
AND I need my fix!
Hey, it is winter, cold, dreary, and snowing and the seeds have
been sowed to germinate for spring plantings.
What's a gardener to do?



What is going on in the gardens of all of my fellow gardeners from the states?
Is it still 108 degrees in Australia and are their gardens drying up and dying?
How is the winter sowing and seed starting going?
What are the Mediterranean or Desert gardeners doing?
Is Canadian, Swedish and German gardeners still snowed under?
What is happening to gardening in England, Wales and Scotland.
Who knew petunias were growing in Egypt.
Are there new plants blooming in India, Portugal, Sudan, South Africa,
France, Italy, Cyprus, Japan, Indonesia,and Malaysia.
There has to be pictures of flowers from China, Taiwan, Brunei, Thailand,
or the Philippines.

Hey, what is happening down on the Farm?

Now you see my dilemma. Now to find out what the problem might
be that is causing Blotanical not to appear on my web server.
