Hi Nan, Would you mind changing the submission date on my Garden Bloggers Sustainable Living project to 11:59 pm, April 15th? That’s the date I’ve been advertising as I had extended the contest back in March when Joe Lampl arranged to have Fiskars donate a Rain Barrel. Thanks;-) Jan

Got it, Jan. Sorry about not catching that sooner!

Hey! You found my Garden Blogger’s Death Day!! Thanks! Just a little word to anyone looking for it – I only run this during *typical* planting season – I don’t run it during the winter when most of the country isn’t growing anyway.

Thanks!!!! Hope to see you at the end of the month!

Spring is just around the corner and I would love to plug a new meme that will get started soon. Its called the Hot, the Loud and the Proud meme.

Got it, Gail – thanks! You might want to add a tag to your WW posts too, so it’s easy to find the series.

What a great resource, Nan. May I add a mention of the new Foliage Follow-Up meme and the Bloggers' Celebration of National Parks? Thanks! Thank *you*, Pam. I'll add them to the list above. -Nan

Can I shamelessly plug Out on the Streets please?

This is my quarterly look at public planting and I started the meme after several garden bloggers said they wanted to join in writing on this topic after I’d published several posts early this year.

We’re now in our 4th quarter with everyone showing off their festive neighbourhoods this month

And we’re continuing with Out on the Streets in 2010

Here’s the link to December’s kick-off post which also has links to the other quarters’ round-ups, plus many more you might find useful.

Thanks for the reminder, Veep! I’ve added OOTS to the main list.

How do you find them all? You are amazing. Mr. McGregor's Daughter just started Frigid Friday I noticed the other day. Merry Christmas Nan! Hope yours is cozy and filled with good things.~~Dee The hunt was fun, Dee. Tracking down the origins of many of these memes was quite a challenge. Thanks for reminding me about MMD's Frigid Friday. And Merry Christmas to you too. -Nan
