February 7 question:
February 7 question:
What turns you off when visiting an author's website/blog? Lack of information? A drone of negativity? Little mention of author's books? Constant mention of books? All of the above makes me click out of the website. I leave when it is difficult to navigate to the page I want to see or to figure out where the comment box is located.

UPDATES:
I joined Substack.com, a new way to connect with readers. I made it through January, posting every Thursday at noon. I find I am gaining more confidence in posting there now. Practice makes perfect and so far, I believe I have just been practicing! Click here to join me at Substack.
If you are on Substack, please drop the link to your page in the comments so I can follow you. Please let us know what kind of experience you are having.
If you are a gardener, you might appreciate my updated version of my little guide on growing a vegetable garden. After perusing so many choices, I finally chose this version for a new cover!

If you are planning a garden this spring, grab this short eBook for 99 cents and learn more about starting seeds, watering, soil, and using toilet paper as a tool for your garden!! Click here to check it out and download it to inspire you to try gardening this year. Tomatoes, peppers, and green beans from your backyard are so much tastier than grocery bought.

Toilet paper? Well, now I have to know.
I keep hearing about Substack but not on it yet.
I'm like Alex. I'm not on it yet either. I don't have time to post on the sites I'm already on except for my blog.
Hi,
I am so happy that I can comment on your blog. I prefer your blog. I don't understand Substack. It is confusing for me.
Good luck with all you've got planned in February.
Take care and have a lovely month.

Your book on vegetable gardening is tempting. What planting zone do you live in?
I didn't know you wrote gardening books! Very cool! I love to garden, though I confess I've struggled since moving to southern Arizona. I've gardened in at least 4 other distinct climates, and this one is the trickiest yet.
Happy IWSG Day!
Yes, Diane, toilet paper. Here's a link to an article I wrote about it on my Garden for Eatin' blog spot. GT made a video of it too, but I have no idea where that is! https://thegardenforeatin.blogspot.com/search/label/toilet%20paper
To Alex, Natalie and Pat, It is a lot of pressure, brought on myself, to think of something to write every week, but I used to write on my blog every week with no problem. I'm just not sure what reader audience I want to attract. Authors or readers? I'm floundering on having a platform. That's what happens when you write many genres. Confusing for visitors to know what to expect from me.
Pat--I like my blog too and understand it's hard to navigate Substack.
The other problem is I get caught up reading everyone else's articles! So many articles, so little time.
Thanks for stopping by.
Melissa, we are zone 5 in Michigan. What zone are you in? It's a quick read with lots of tips collected over years and years and years of gardening. 99 cents
Hi Janet, this is the only gardening book I have written based on my blog--the Garden for Eatin' which I have neglected posting to for years...Sounds like you could produce a garden book for gardening in each one of your 4 locations!!
We had a learning curve in FL. Very different than Michigan gardening for sure. Good luck with your Arizona garden!!
You hit the nail on the head of annoying website stuff! I am definitely being worn out by negativity. There's enough of that in the world.
Checking out the gardening book!
I couldn't find the link, but I'll check on Amazon.
Love your cover! How is Gardener Ted doing;)
