Resolutions are sometimes an evil beast. You make these promises to yourself, are extremely happy when you accomplish them, but if you don't, pssh let down city here we come. So let's preface this post with the thought that I'll probably let myself down at least once.
*Sigh*
OK, now that I have that out of the way.
As my astute readers, I'm sure you've noticed and I've alluded to the fact that I am no longer in an apartment. So the whole, "what happens when you mix a garden lover with an apartment complex," thing isn't so much applying anymore.
So I said to myself, "self, what should we do about this predicament?"
Well, self must be in indecisive mode because she was worthless for definitive answers. But here are some thoughts about the where the heck I can go with this here blog:
- Still be garden-focused but now it can be more open-space gardening and include a disclaimer that gardening only happens here in the Northeast U.S. a few short months of the year, so be ready for random jibber-jabber?
- Rock the houseplant route for a while. There is something to be said about having all of your plants originally in a centrally, gas-heated, Southwest facing apartment only to move them into a wood stove heated (read extremely dry air), Northeast-ish facing house. That is quite the change for creatures of habit like hibiscus, begonia, etc.
- Go for a bit crafty. I have picked up knitting again (having a new baby in the family will do that to you). And I now have a place where I can use a sewing machine that isn't in a closet and I have a "summer" dress just itching to be made. (OK soo late on that one, but I can always wear it next summer, right?)
- Don't change a darn thing about the page and hope no one will notice.
- Mix it all into one! Hey, the cold winter is so on its way and I will need anything and everything to keep my sanity so whatever I wanna post, damnit, I will post!
What do you all think? What would you like to see? Or have you forgotten I existed and only clicked this page by accident?

Personally I kind of like a mixed bag type of blog, especially for areas like mine that don't have enough good weather to be able to upkeep a year round garden blog. And houseplants? Sure you can fill up an entire blog with posts year round, but I think you might get bored of that after awhile.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I like learning a little about the bloggers I visit, and I learn more about them when they post about other things besides their gardens.
I vote for the 'mix it all into one' theme. Go crazy. Post about anything and everything. Have fun with it. Share your opions, thoughts, ideas. Share your arts and crafts. Share the trivia you pick up. Just let loose and enjoy!
Another vote for mixin' it all into one! My wee blog started about sewing and now it's morphed into something much weirder and more off-topic than that. Good times. Keep 'em rolling.
