Grow a Container Garden Reopens

January 3rd, 2010 by admin

We’re back! I am so very happy to be back on my blogs. I must apologize for those of you who came back early in 2009 and found the rather abrupt notification that we were no longer publishing.

I won’t bore you with the details, but health issues including some painful knee surgery simply required me to FOCUS on my health. But I am back, and will be with a bang.

The subjects we can cover together on Grow a Container Garden You will help us all flourish at the tasks to which we have decided to commit ourselves. I hope you will join me here at GaCG on a regular basis.

Please leave comments, suggestions, and especially questions. I will do my best to respond with useful information.

You can hang them, or just arrange them on your patio, window sill, or balcony. Just a few baskets or pots, and your whole living area will look much classier and nicer.
