AGY is in the news!

I have a visitor counter on my blog. When I began AGY, I kept a close eye on my stats. It was so exciting to see how many people were actually reading what I wrote. Three years later, blogging has become "old-hat". I rarely look at my counter so I didn't notice the uptick in visitors recently.

Instead, I learned about my new visitors as I was perusing my usual favorite blogs. A couple of them mentioned an article written by Jeff Ball of Gardening and Yardening. Jeff writes a column for The Detroit News. Recently he wrote about garden blogs. One of the blogs he recommended was my very own A Gardening Year.

Thanks Jeff! And welcome readers from The Detroit News. Believe it or not, I briefly lived just outside of Detroit when I was a child. Sorry, I was too young to have many memories of the area. No one will be surprised to learn that one of the few things I do remember is my father showing me a snake in the garden.
