Heather at Xericstyle, San Antonio, Texas, hosts one of those 'sharing' events among garden bloggers. You take a picture of your garden (in the long view) and post it on the first day of each month. I've wanted to add my tuppence worth for a long time, but never quite got up the steam. Here I finally am. What's really brilliant about this idea is that not only could it be of interest to other garden bloggers, it's also your own record of what your garden looks like from month to month. I'm planning to take four pictures each month. Three from our balcony and the final picture (left) from the bottom of the garden, through the orchard looking up to the house. There are some amazing garden bloggers out there. How do they manage to do the garden, take the pictures, and find the time to sit down and write about it (as well as design the post)? Hats off! The beauty of Cathy's idea (along the lines of 'Wordless Wednesday') is that you are still sharing your garden, but without having to write so many words (I'm lazy). Take a look at Heather's website, and you'll also find links to other garden bloggers' 'wide shots'.
