The Blog Of The Month for January is A Whole Plot Of Love. Joanne started the blog in June of last year, and she writes about gardening in her North Wales garden where she has a small vegetable plot. It's amazing how much she manages to fit in to her garden, certainly more than I manage on my allotment, she even has numerous fruit trees and bushes growing in pots to maximise space. Like most of us, Joanne is currently finalising her list of seeds to sow this year, and working out what she still needs to buy. You can read about the things she's already decided on in her most recent posts.
Joanne's husband has just embarked on quite a large DIY project, knocking down the dividing wall between the kitchen and dining room and making a kitchen diner. I'm looking forward to hearing about progress on this. Joanne also includes snippets about her two boys, one of which is now at university. I love to read Joanne's newsy posts, not just about her gardening exploits, but about other things too, as they help you to get to know the person behind the blog.
I wish Joanne all the very best for the gardening year ahead, and I shall be following her progress through her blog. I know that some of you already follow Joanne, but if not, do pop across and have a read, and don't forget to tell Joanne that I sent you.
What a nice idea, I very occasionally do a similar post mentioning a few blogs.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that Joanne will be delighted that you've chosen her blog to start off this monthly feature.
Like you I follow her blog which I always find enjoyable to read. Flighty xx
Great idea Jo....it's always nice to find new blogs to check out this way. I will certainly go over and take a look, hope everything is gong well for you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea. I shall enjoy exploring your recommendations.

You lovely sweet person. Your very kind.xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant idea,I will also be popping over and having a luck,I had the idea of people doing a feature plant and telling us what they like about a special plant to them,what do you think?
ReplyDeleteI already visit Joanne's blog and agree that it is very worthy of a mention
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good read I'm always after tips on maximising space.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the mention Jo. Will visit Joanne's blog today and will be sure to mention that it was you who pointed me in her direction :)
ReplyDeleteYour article is a good idea and it will help identify new blogs to have a look at.
ReplyDeleteA brilliant idea, it's always nice to find new Blogs on our travels. I already read (with amazement, she fits sooooo much into a relatively small space) Joanne's Blog. She keeps me on the straight and narrow with my planting.

Nice idea, Jo. It's good to give colleagues a bit of moral support and help them with attracting new visitors. Word of mouth recommendation is usually the best way of finding a good blog.
ReplyDeleteJo, This is great! I love exploring new blogs, and look forward to all your recommendations. P. x
ReplyDeleteThank you for all your comments. I'm pleased that some of you have popped over to Joanne's blog and had a read. I'll be doing a February Blog Of The Month post soon.
ReplyDeleteFlowerlady - I've answered you on your blog, I think it's a great idea.
I visit A Whole Plot of Love already too : ) I think it's a really nice idea to feature other bloggers.
ReplyDeleteI'm always on the look out for new blogs to read, and I know that other bloggers like to meet new bloggers too, so I thought featuring one blog each month might point those who don't already know the blog in their direction.
