Gardening tips, gardening info and heaps of ideas to help gardeners of all experience get more out of their hobby and out of their gardens.

Where are all the Australian garden bloggers? Pam from Digging, in Austin, Texas is querying where all the Aussie bloggers are to which I have no response. I know you're out there and there are definitely more than two in a nation of 20 million +.
The Garden Blog Directory continues to go from strength to strength displaying more than 100 gardening blogs from right around the globe. I'm still looking for some African and South American garden bloggers but every other continent is now represented. It won't be long and I will have to start breaking some of the locations into more detailed maps.
I received a very encouraging letter via Julie from the Human Flower Project demonstrating how helpful it can be;
I have been receiving emails over the past two weeks from somebody wanting to buy plants and get advice on her garden. After several back-and-forths, I realized she lived in California (I'm in Texas, a mere half continent away!) I was able to send her your blog map and suggest she click on the blogger closest to her town, which she did, and writes back, "This really helped!"Thank you for setting up this wonderful service to us all.
My pleasure and thanks for the email Julie. I hope this encourages others to get their blog on the map too.
A big thanks to Telsing from Ottawa Hortphilia (I can safely say he's a Canadian blogger) who produced a very creative interview with me about the Garden Blog Directory and my views on gardening. It was an honour to be interviewed and I really enjoyed answering Telsing's questions - they were probing yet enjoyable to respond to. Kudos Telsing.

Great idea! I have just added the banner to my blog and have added your blog to my 'playing in the dirt' links.
Thank you!

It's great to see people making good use of your blog directory Stuart, especially after all the creative energy you've put into it. You've done a really great job!

Speaking of interviews, are you ever going to do any more of those hilarious interviews with unusual characters? I miss them...

Congrats on the success of your directory. I use it often.
I hope your nudge encourages more of your countrymen to make their presence known. We Americans love the Aussies. I'd like to see what else is going on in gardens Down Under. (Where are you, Sydney gardeners?)

Hi Stuart, I'll have a look around, I know I have some very keen gardeners on my blogroll - just finding actual Aussie bloggers is a time-consuming exercise, but then, of course, I am concentrating on 'elder-bloggers'...
