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!
