Now that the longest day has hit, I’m starting to realise how close we really are to a new decade. In 10 short days we’ll have the chance to start on the promises everyone has been waiting all year to make, and I can’t wait.
2009 In Retrospect
Personally, I’m quite happy with how my gardening projects went; the past few months were spent eating fresh, delicious produce and I feel that through the emails I’ve been getting, I’ve tried my hardest to help people when I can. With that said, I don’t think anyone could disagree with me when I say I could have done a lot more with the site in the 6/7 months I have been “working” on it. So, I’ve decided to make a New Year’s resolution I can actually keep this year, and really get down to work on bringing Ask Garden up to par with some of the sites I love like:
To me, they exemplify a great blogger, with their great attitudes and dedication to the project. Rather than trying to imitate them, I think I can learn from what they’re doing within the gardening community. So, from today until the 1st of January, I will be making some pretty big changes and writing as much as I can (that turkey won’t eat itself) to relaunch for the new year.
Out With The Old, In With The New
Just to give you an idea of what’s to come: there is a gardening calendar application/widget which allows you to quickly see what’s best to plant or harvest at that point of the year, a few major changes to the way the site looks and works, a possible podcast with a supporting video series and frequent posts! I’m very excited about the application I’m making, it’s in extremely early stages right now but it’s definitely something I want to show you guys as soon as it’s usable.
I know I’ve said something similar before, but this time, you’ll really feel the work I have put in. I wish you all the best this Christmas and a glorious New Year.
See you in 2010!

I appreciate you for posting such a informative portal. this blog was not only useful but also very stimulating too. There normally are only few bloggers who are capable of write not so easy stuff that creatively. we are on the lookout for information with regard to this topic. I searched in many websites to come across knowhow with regard to this.Keep me informed when you write more on the subject !!
Hey Josh! I’m flattered that you think I’m a great blogger. Thanks! Let me know if you need any help. If I can make a tiny, partially self-serving suggestion…you should submit a post to the LOTB blog carnival. I’d love the opportunity to send some traffic your way.
