email address fixed

Thanks to Sarah at Root Cellars Rock! for pointing out that I had posted the wrong email address.  Silly me, I'd switched the Greenthumbs and greenhorns around in the address but Sarah was smart enough to figure out what was wrong and got an email to me anyway letting me know that it needed to be fixed.  All fixed now!  BTW, if you haven't checked it out yet, go check out Root Cellars Rock!.  They are also trying to bring together and support gardeners, but specifically vegetable gardeners in Newfoundland.

I'm still hoping to connect with gardeners of all sorts - vegetable, flower, etc - and all levels from all over, but especially near me in Pasadena, Newfoundland.  Be sure to leave a comment or email.  If you check out the YouTube channel you will see that I am following a number of gardeners from all over that are posting videos about their gardening on YouTube.  I'd love to find some Newfoundland gardeners with YouTube Channels. Let me know if you know of any.

Under Construction

I have decided to revive this blog with a new purpose.

Originally this was where I posted gardening articles that I wrote for my then local community.  I have decided to leave these articles in the archives.  I had decided to write the column for my then local newspaper in an attempt to connect with gardeners in my area and bring together green thumbs and greenhorn gardeners in my area.

Since then I have moved into a new community and once again I am wanting to connect with gardeners in my area.  However, I also realize the potential to use this blog to unite gardeners from all over the world wide web.  I would love to see it develop so that there were Green Thumb and Greenhorn groups all across the world that came together here, so I leave that out there as a possibility to be worked on while I am also attempting to connect with gardeners around my new home.

I have created a facebook page for the blog - https://www.facebook.com/GreenThumbsAndGreenHorns as well as a group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/greenthumbsandgreenhorns/. I wasn't sure which would be best to create so I decided to create both and see what happens. If anyone has any thoughts on this I'd love to hear them.

I have created a twitter feed for the blog at
 .  I'm hoping this will help get the word out connect more gardeners.  Be sure to follow and encourage all your fellow gardeners to do the same.

I've also created a YouTube Channel - http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiChfobQXlNGwz1cQ6yZD2w .  One plan for the YouTube Channel is to post videos of garden visits. If you live in Newfoundland and have a garden you wouldn't mind sharing, let me know and I'll try to arrange a visit.

So... that's what I've done so far.  To that end, this blog is under construction at the moment.  Please excuse the mess while I work on getting everything in place.  I would love to hear your thoughts on what I have shared so far and any suggestions you might have.
