Any Blogs?

With winter coming on, I find myself looking online for native plant sites, blogs, and nurseries. As I posted earlier, I've had some luck finding the nurseries; my question is: Does anyone have any favorite blogs or other related sites?

Blogs focusing on the Northeastern US or, more specifically, PA, NY, NJ are of most interest to me.

Thank you,

David

I live in Western NY State and the nurseries specializing in native plants nearby are:

White Oak Nursery

Amanda's Garden

Plantsman Nursery

You can check their webste for any blogs or informational articles. I've purchased plants from all these nurseries and have only good things to say. Enjoy!

blog addict here. I have a reader set up just for garden blogs. Most of these people I follow on twitter which I have found to be a great resource for connecting with people of similar interests. The list is incomplete and pretty much people who garden for wildlife, biodiversity or eco-friendly which results in a heavy leaning toward natives. I could list two dozen more. They are just a few but try their blog rolls. Many quality blogs out there!

I am interested in that also.

I put together a website with pictures and information on native plants of the northeastern U.S. I also started a blog but it includes more general topics related to botany.

Here is a link that might be useful: Plants of the Northeastern U.S.

You might like to take a look at my blog:

I have planted my yard in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley with many though not all native plants.

By the way, I love to get comments!

There is a site called Blotanical where people with gardening blogs post links to their blogs. It has a map that you can use to zoom into your area and find gardening blogs.

My blog is here: http://deborahsgarden.blogspot.com, but I'm in Florida--so don't get mad about my warm weather.

Thank you all for the links. I have a LOT to check out now.

karyls, if I go through the blogrolls, I'll end up with so many to follow, I'll never leave the house! You stated, " I have a reader set up just for garden blogs." What is a reader?

I'm especially looking for blogs of natives with lots of pictures showing how they have transformed their properties. I love before and after shots!

I should have checked back sooner, because I didn't have much luck finding any, so I decided to start my own so that eventually I will have before and after shots--right now they are just before pics! ...with a few "during" pics thrown in.

Thanks again.

David
