Today I am grateful for “The Gardening Blog”. When Barbie and I first started this blog in January this year we thought we had gardens and knew what we were doing. So we started a “gardening blog”. Seems rather funny now because when we look back we realise that we had very little knowledge and pretty basic gardens that were nothing very special. Finding things to blog about every day opened our eyes to just how little we knew and how much more we could do in our gardens to create the gardens of our dreams.
The Gardening Blog has opened up a whole new world for us, one that has been incredibly rewarding, lots of fun, and we’ve loved every minute of it. Here’s to many more great gardening years and blogging!
Photo: Solanum Rantonnetii -Barbie and I both have this bush in our gardens – Barbie’s is huge, nine is still a young plant. They are covered in these small blue-purple flowers in summer. Easy to grow and pretty much pest and disease free.
Solanum Rantonnetii – S. rantonnetii is a deciduous shrub forming purple-blue flowers throughout the summer, followed by red decorative fruit in autumn which is popular with the birds.

30 daily posts is an achievement (but then you mostly blog daily). I do admire your enthusiasm – both gardens are flourishing under loving attention!
Well done, Christine! Thanks for joining in the challenge. I hope you found it rewarding and enjoyed the routine of gratitude! It’s a funny thing now not posting daily. I’m almost at a loss as to what to post! Congrats on your blogging accomplishment…hard to believe it’s been almost a year. You’re doing a great job!
