AuthorBe featured on the Creative Gardening blog

Posted on Jun 06, 09 at 02:49 AM

Hello, gardeners and Helium writers.  In order to have an RSS feed for the Container Gardening Zone, I created a WordPress blog consisting of Helium articles.  The blog is called "Creative Gardening" and includes articles on general gardening as well as container gardening, but the primary emphasis is on container gardening and other small-space gardening ideas. 

If you have a gardening article you would like to have featured on the blog, please let me know and I will be happy to include it.  Before sending me a link to the article, please stop by the blog and try entering your Helium pen name in the search box-- your article may already be featured.  If it's not already up there, please do send the link.

I put the first paragraph of the article and then include a "read more link", so anyone who sees your article on the blog and finds it interesting will be redirected to Helium, which will help you earn ad revenue.  Your article will also appear on the Container Gardening zone for a few days. 

Also, if you have any container garden photos you would like to share, I would be happy to include them on the blog or zone or both.

Outstanding idea, Raven!

Do you consider "urns" to be "containers" for this topic? I think I've got a fairly good pic of our feature garden from last sping, including a nice urn planting.

If memory serves me right, you'd included my Helium article about building wooden planters on your zone, too, right? How about a nice, fresh picture of how the actual project turned out? I can go grab the camera, if you'd like to see it.

Yes, Jim, urns definitely count as containers!  A picture of an urn planting would be great.  I would also love a pic of that planter you built-- that'll be a nice visual for the blog.  I don't have nearly enough photos there.  I need to get off my duff and take some of my own, but I welcome container gardening pics from anyone who wants to share them.

Hi Raven,

Here are the two pics:

wooden planters and bench

You should be able to use either picture by using right-click>Save Image Location or right-click>Save Image As.

If that doesn't work, send me your email address and I'll send them to you as attachments. I posted a quick blog-blurb about the planter and bench set, and added a big ol' link to your Container Gardening Zone there, too.

Thanks for your invitation, Raven!

Great pics, Jim!  Your deck photo will appear on the Creative Gardening blog on June 9th (Tuesday).  I'm going to use the urn photo for the Container Gardening Zone.

I love this idea. I am so new to gardening that I likely won't write any articles. I do however have some photos of my apartment balcony garden from last year, including a photo of my upside down tomato plant.
