In a world were some people wonder why I write a weblog…. two milestones [?] took place very recently. First, Philip Voice of the Landscape Juice Network announced. Surprised ? It wouldn’t be the first time websites have been sponsored. I think it may just surprise to [some] of the green Irish…? Either or, in [...]

Like the title says… Why…? I am a gardener – so were most of the people I knew there. Some were my family. Some were great friends. In order to remain semi sane, never the twain should mix. One was an Italian girlfriend. It lasted 3 weeks. When I was 15. She found me. It [...]

A friend of mine Dave had decided he should refresh my image somewhat… I had these pics done by John and that’s when Dave stepped in. This is not the artwork, just a visual for now. Dave blogs over at DavyMac What d’you think…? Stretched the photo, added a (new-ish) version of your logo – blue [...]

Last year this weblog was nominated for the irish blog awards 2009. And this year somebody nominated this green blog again As you are most likely well aware there is a long way to go and so I shall [appropriately] quote myself from last year once again… That said – awards or not, it is [...]

It’s kind of unusual when about 9 years ago I first wrote the wording for the first pages of my website. There were pages within pages with links off to one side… Maybe it’s how websites were built at the time…? In hindsight the writing, for mine, read like some sort of corporate clap trap [...]

Niall and Lauren did something similar over on Simply Zesty But whilst this list refers to those only green – it is here I must side step slightly…. For it seems in Ireland, in the horticultural department at least…. we really do not get the online gig. And if ‘we’ do… it’s not done terribly [...]
{ all posts, techie } { 13 comments }a gardeners camera…
I thought I had the ultimate camera for a gardener, landscaper, outdoors kind of guy. I did. It broke. I now have the better solution. The old and now broken Olympus camera [was reviewed here]. A piece of equipment of any kind for any man a horticulturist should really be that little more indestructable. I [...]

Over at Simply Zesty – I recently became a guinea pig… Niall and I were chatting yesterday over how I marketed loved writing my blog for the pure [horticultural/ green] fun of it and the mystique that quickly arose as to why I would bother at all when it may never make you money. For [...]
