Blogging For hire?

Recently,I have become aware of a brew-ha-ha in the garden blogging world.

And I just don’t get it.

Why do most gardeners blog?

I know why I do.

Growing up in a family of gardeners,I started blogging as an easy way to keep far flung family and friends informed of what was going on,on TheGreatWallofLutz.

My father kept a meticulous,handwritten diary of his garden (of which,I am the proud possessor-yessiree!!!).

I use the electronic medium.

It’s just so easy to click on a label and see where the garden has been.

And I hate to write.

I would rather type.

I don’t blog for the hopes of freebies,of which I have been offered.

…And declined,or ignored….

I blog just for the simple reason of keeping a record of my garden.

If people chose to follow….great.

…If not,great,too…

If you chose to comment,even greater.

…But,at least,make it constructive,please...

I more than welcome the input,because sometimes,I hit the gardening block.

And need new ideas.

Or,

someone to tell me I’m nuts and don’t even think of doing that or growing that.

But,I don’t blog in anticipation of freebies,or give-a-ways.

Or in hopes of being the next great garden writer.

I just want to keep a written record of my garden.

And,

maybe,

just maybe,

someone will tell me I’m going in the right direction….

Am I missing something?
