Dang. I’ve read The Secret, am working on New Earth for Oprah, have done a few hundred visualizations and never did I envision a Naked Cowboy. OK, I didn’t envision a naked cowboy in a Black Escalade spouting Anthony Robbins as his higher power. And he has nothing but cash (maybe frostbite) comin’ in and no bills.
What folks won’t do for their 15 minutes of fame. yikes!

It's often been mentioned, and
now proved, that there is a high correlation between the features of dog owners and their pets. Think it's all delusional bunk? Well, after visiting
this site you'll realise that the folklore is far more believable than first expected.
Which got me thinking. How similar are gardeners to their favourite plants? Are they like 'peas in a pod'? (Pun totally intended!) Would you walk around the garden admiring the flowers and saying things like.."Oh, that rose looks just like Aunty Jean" or "this hibiscus bloom reminds me so much of my neighbours accented jowels". Possibly not.
So I decided to *scientifically* observe some gardeners and marry their facial features up with their favourite plants. And what better place to start than by using some of the top users of Blotanical. It made sense because here we had pictures of each gardener plus I could view their favourite flowers in their Plot.
Then it just became a mere routine to match them up with their favourite blooms. Here's some examples;
Spot the difference! Craft Gardener and her fave flower - daisies
Another dead ringer! CC and Bergenia
Vanillalotus and dianthus - if it wasn't for the bug you'd struggle to tell them apart.
and finally;
Kylee B. and her amaryllis
Feel free to form your own opinions but I'm sold on the idea.

One of the new techniques in gardening is in pots that grow your tomatoes (and some other vegetable) upside down, growing out of the bottom of the pot instead of the top. This could be a good solution for health conscious gardeners that just don't have the space for more traditional methods.

Even though plenty of plants grow well without direct sunlight, all plants need some kind of light to grow. Photosynthesis is a necessary process of plant growth, and light is the main ingredient.

Tomatoes can be as small as cherries or inches across; bright red, golden yellow, or dark purple almost black; spherical, cylindrical or plum-shaped; sharp in flavour or lusciously sweet; firm-fleshed with liquid juice or soft and pasty. What an amazing variety is available to the grower and then to the cook! Don't stick only with the standard, medium-sized red. There's a lot of exciting alternatives to be tried this year.
