plant-blogging

May 7, 2007: After a great weekend of driving, competing in a "spectator's triathlon", and jungle-fying my house in Santa Barbara, the Barber women have decided that we need a blog. Although there are many topics about which we could blog, (shoes, puppies, and chocolate for example... hmmm, I'm seeing lots of potential here) our first blog focuses on plants.

Personally, the prospect of growing plants is both exciting and terrifying. Will my plants grow? Do I water too little or too much? What the hell is deadheading again? However, this blog will function in many ways. It will allow us to discuss the progress of our gardens and seek advice when necessary. We can share pictures and stories of our favorite plants as well as our planting disasters. Most importantly, it will (hopefully) provide a new forum for comic relief while at the same time allowing us to stay in touch and continue making positive deposits in our relationship bank. (one of my favorite Barberisms) So- never fear, brave planters. Even millennials can strive for happy plants.
