Wow, this is an old thread, but the Canada Blog Hop (as it is now called) is still active and going strong. I have a feeling it is a lot longer than it used to be, so please stop by and check out all the great Canadian blogs. As well as garden blogs it now includes craft blogs, photography blogs and general interest blogs from all across Canada. Here is a link that might be useful: Canada blog hop

Have you tried Midwestern Forum or other *similar zone forums* ~ I've learned a lot from very experienced & or *wonderful to chat with* gardeners other than fruits & veggies. Also go to forums for specific plants. Try some ~ you might enjoy!!!

very nice images :) and now im sitting here imagining a bathroom outside w/ the reflection of foliage and flowers in the mirror... hmm...

My blog at tranquilgarden.ca is relatively new still but is already over 55 posts. The blogs tagline is “Sowing the seeds for a tranquil and peaceful escape in your garden” While I post about many gardening topics, my ultimate goal is to help you create a garden you can relax in and get away from the stresses of everyday life. I’ve recently created a simple guide of “21 Ways to Create and Enjoy a Tranquil Garden” which is available for download when you subscribe to my weekly newsletter. And if you love gardening books check out my reviews on my Books and Resources page. Hope you come and visit and subscribe. All the best, Marc
