Summer 2008 Inspiration



**In any of these posts, you can be looking forward to next Spring and the things you might do due to inspiration in 2008! :-)

October - Have you a visited a gardening friend (blogger or otherwise) who inspired you this past season (2008)? Tell us all about it!

November - Have you planted anything during the 2008 growing season that you can credit to another gardener (blogger or otherwise)? Tell us all about it!

December - What about your hardscape? Did you do any landscaping that you might credit to a fellow gardener (blogger or otherwise)? Tell us all about it!

January - What does your "2009 Wish List" look like? Is there anything there you plan to purchase and/or grow because of your 2008 Summer Inspiration (or even last Winter)? Please tell us about it!

February - Did you add and/or create any decorative, whimsical items for your gardens in 2008? Please share! Can you give credit to anyone?

March - Will you be doing any early seeding? Will you be making any special landscaping plans for the upcoming season? Please share.

April - Thank you for participating. Anything else you'd like to share (like container planting) before we all get busy with our 2009 gardening??? :-)

You can even create more than one post per month, if you need to (I did in October!). You don't have to participate every month... just when it applies and/or you have the time!

Whenever you've posted YOUR Summer 2008 Inspiration posts, please leave a note here or at one of my current postings. :-)

Your gardening friend (always looking for inspiration!)

  1. I'm posted !!
    Had to jump a few months because November didn't apply to me.
    I hope that's ok ? I'm sure I can pick more inspirations for January.
    It's kinda late in the month for some to get a post ready but I'm sure everyone has the response right on the tip of their tongue as to what or whom inspired them durning the summer of 2008.

  4. I hadn't seen this post earlier--I'm definitely trying to grow some plants I saw in the Lurie Garden in Chicago (including those two I left in another comment for you!). I will write my own post about it and steal your logo. :)

  5. Hi ShadyG,
    I would like to participate in your Summer 2008 Inspiration; Can I put the link on my sidebar? Then, each month I'll try to post something. Is there a certain day or just do it whenever and put a link to you on it???? Let me know! Have a great day...Jan

  6. Just me, again:) I think it's probably about over now, right? We should do something for right now in 2009, leading up to summer. If you come up with a new one, I'll give it a try:)

  7. Jan, I should have left a note here, too. As I hope others don't think this Meme is over... This is just Inspiration gleaned from 2008 that you're carrying into 2009. Use the logo. That's what it's for. :-)

  8. Monica, I look forward to your post. And use the logo - it's not stealing! :-)

  10. Hi Patsi, Loved your post. I really like the new sculpture of the little fellow that looks like he's fully enjoying the garden! :-)

  11. Will be posting late this month. We'll be starting seeds late due to April vacation.
    Just a thought....would like to see other bloggers post in one place so I don't have to search for them. Maybe a link here?

Thank you for visiting today. I don't mean to make it hard for you to leave a message, but temporarily I am going to enable word verification. Too many spam messages to deal with lately. Thanks for your patience! SG
