Morning everybody ... or afternoon ... or evening .... wherever you are. I know that many of us are suffering terriblewithdrawal symptoms from Blotanical(and you'll soon know whether it's up and running again if you click the
link!!). It's been several days since we've been able to access Stuart's
brilliant website for all us like-minded plantheads, and I don't know about you,
but I miss it - no picks, no messaging through our plots, and no new bloggers to
follow! It's certainly made me work a harder on the internet and frantically
sign up as a follower on the gardening plots I love, because at least that way,
I can access all the latest posts.
It also prompted me to create a new group onFacebook for Garden Lovers, which I've named Garden Lovers of the World - or GLOW for short - and if
you're a member of Facebook, you
may wish to join and share all your wonderful garden pictures with other
members.
I don't have Stuart's talent to set up a blogging platform, but I'm sure many of you will have contributions you'd like
to add, plus links to your own gardening plots and, most importantly, wonderful
pictures of plants and gardens, so please feel free to take a look and
share.

I also wanted to tell you about another new project - "What on Earth" -nothing to do with me, but might be of interest to you and your children, (or
grandchildren!) for National Science and Engineering Week (NSEW), which is
looking for any plants, animals or other living organisms that you see and don't
recognise. As they say:
"The aim of What on Earth is to spot, collect and identify as many species as possible over the course of the week,
painting a fascinating picture of UK wildlife for us all to observe and enjoy.
Organised in partnership with The Open University’s iSpot website, NSEW’s
specialists from all fields of natural science will examine, identify and
catalogue as many finds as they can over the course of the week and
beyond."

Hope you all have a great weekend .... and if you're not under several feet of snow, happy gardening!
